I analyzed the essay "Vegetarian or Non-vegetarian." In this essay, I noticed that this writer used an inappropriate tone to relate to its readers by telling her audience that it is wrong to kill animals. That type of tone alienates her readers because it doesn't allow people to try to connect with her argument because there might be people that don't really care about animals. By reading her essay I get an understanding of how not to write my argument because I don't want to use that type of tone with my readers, so I won't make them feel like I'm ignorant or something like that.
I noticed that in my peer reviewers paper she used a lot of "I" and her own personal opinions. I think it is okay to include personal opinions but not when a person is trying to make an argument. If a person uses the word "I" it may make people think that she only cares about what she/he has to say and ignoring other peoples viewpoints. I get the understanding that I should not try to use the word "I" because it can weaken my argument.
Last but not least, I noticed my peer reviewer committed a lot of fallacies within her argument, which violates the criterion for a good argument. I think that she needs to stay relevant throughout her argument and provide plausible evidence for a skeptical person. From her paper I learn that I should stay relevant to my topic and provide good evidence to support all my claims in order to make a good paper.
