Synthesis DAP
Synthesis papers are always delightful to write and can showcase the best qualities of any
writer for the fact that the author must bring in extramural information. This essay most certainly
was no different, because it certainly makes clear the relevance of the topic and delivers an
ability to use given documents to explain the prompt thoroughly and effectively. However, with
any paper, there will be flaws. Overall, the paper may need to enhance some of its sentences and
grammar issues. It seems to the editors at first that this was evident along with the fact that
transitions were lacking clear flow, and that the intro seemed to overpower the entire piece. Yet,
even though weaknesses may still exist, it still provides a healthy mix of personal input as well
as analyzed and synthesized data and facts found from the documents. Evidencing from the
paper, the example outlining the size of the monument and the materials used to construct the
monument surely qualifies well and makes clear the argument at hand. Also to note, using
appropriate examples when analyzing for an issue is always one of the most challenging things
to do, so in the broad spectrum of analysis, the paper definitely does well to do this. The reader is
capable of understanding and agreeing with the authors analysis of the prompt and that is the
main goal of any argumentative piece, so it is clear that this essay was surely written well. In
conclusion, the essay was surely well written overall and can explain several synthesized points
that come straight from the documents given. Overall, it was a well written piece for the
limitations given and makes light of the prompt at hand.
