With good WORD CHOICE, the writer creates a mental picture for the reader by using words that are specific and accurate. The writer uses strong action verbs whenever possible to show the reader what is happening rather than tell the reader.

Nezavi [6.7K]

You would need to check how to write the comnparative analysis. In the "lens" (or "keyhole") comparison, in which you weight A less heavily than B, you use A as a lens through which to view B. Just as looking through a pair of glasses changes the way you see an object, using A as a framework for understanding B changes the way you see B. Lens comparisons are useful for illuminating, critiquing, or challenging the stability of a thing that, before the analysis, seemed perfectly understood. Often, lens comparisons take time into account: earlier texts, events, or historical figures may illuminate later ones, and vice versa.  Faced with a daunting list of seemingly unrelated similarities and differences, you may feel confused about how to construct a paper that isn't just a mechanical exercise in which you first state all the features that A and B have in common, and then state all the ways in which A and B are different. Predictably, the thesis of such a paper is usually an assertion that A and B are very similar yet not so similar after all. To write a good compare-and-contrast paper, you must take your raw data—the similarities and differences you've observed—and make them cohere into a meaningful argument.  You may also contact the professionals from Prime Writings and let them do it for you. I am sure you will like the overall experience.

irina [24]

Answer and Explanation:

1. All the verses fit together, because they all keep the theme and thoughts about what it is like to be a "señorita". 2. There are clear transitions between stanzas, which are presented by the thoughts of different family members on a given topic. 4. I would fragment the text by exposing the theme of each stanza in one sentence.

The fragmented text can be seen below

My mother said that my life would change when I turned 15, because I would become a señorita. For my friends, being a señorita is wearing lipstick, but I don't like it. For Mami to be señorita is to wear high-heeled shoes, but I think that is dangerous. For my aunts to be señorita is to wear tailored flowery clothes and pantyhose, but I find it ugly and uncomfortable.

I look in the mirror wearing señorita's clothes and I don't recognize myself, I complain about it and say I don't want to dress like that, but my mother says that señoritas don't talk back to their mothers and let their elders make appropriate decisions.

Being a señorita, for my father means that he has to deprive me of having boyfriends, but that's okay, because I have no interest in boyfriends but in studying and getting a university degree. For my sisters, being a señorita means having someone to worship, but for me, being a señorita means being unhappy and giving up fun things, it is to live a boring life, it is to celebrate contently without happiness, but with posture and dignity. To be señorita is to be the girl that I was, but without a voice.
