Differences Between 2 Essays

Brian's essay took his interview data and analyzed it in great detail, tying it into his own voice and thesis.  As informal as I thought the interview data was, he did succeed in formulating a fairly well-constructed essay in the end.

Samantha's essay, while it appeals to the emotions, does not seem to fit the profile for an academic research essay.  While it speaks volumes about the experiences of the Columbine tragedy, the majority of the paper is transcripted dialogue from the interviewee, with one short introduction paragraph, and one short conclusion written by the author.  This is a vastly different type of assignment than what we are working on.
