While reading The Phantom of the Opera by Jeremy Page I noticed some different things when it came to his writing. The purpose of his Essay was to get a general summary and to compare some of the differences and similarities to some other related articles. He generally summarized the book with a few key points and subjects. I think his intentions of this essay was for other readers that have read the novel and for other critics, he does include a lot of detail so he is not expecting to much prior knowledge to the book. The subject to the book is a basic summary, and comparing the way the author wrote his novel in comparison to the way Freudian writes his novels. The authors point is to show how much they two different writings are alike. Page's writing is very descriptive so he gives his readers a good image as they are reading his essay. To me his paragraphs were a little strange on the way that he organized them. He wrote some small paragraphs that were a few sentences and then longer ones that were half a page long which seemed a a tad bit off to me. He did organize his writing at the beginning as in relation to events in the book. The way he transitions to a new idea or book was a little rough, and leave the reader thinking about what just happened. I think that could have been done more smoothly. He could have also included the other novels he uses into the thesis so that the reader at least has a bit of an inside of the essay being shifted to new ideas. The way that that Page wrote his essay wasn't to too clear when it came to the actually subject of the essay and leave the reader in question. It should be a longer passage and be more descriptive in the actual point and what he is trying to get from his essay. The reader should be able to tell what he is comparing but it isn't to distinctive, and I believe that can be worked on definitely. The writer didn't use any similes or metaphors in his writing. I think that, that might have help the reader be more interactive with his writer by making them think a little bit more. I don't believe that the author had a very strong ethos to his essay. Which makes the reader not as interested as if you could tell how persuasive the writer should have been. This essay didn't confound in my expectations it was poorly written in my personal opinion. It definitely contradicts what I have been taught in school for the past several years. He didn't really have a structure as MLA or Shaffer. It was a basic free written essay and if it was written with a certain structure i believe it could have been presented better, with more understanding. I just need 7 more words, I'm an over achiever. :)
