Around 2007-2008, Alissa Steiner
wrote an article called “Depression in College Students.” Her thesis states
that students need to be more informed about depression so that they can seek
help if they need to and so that suicide can be prevented. She supports her
thesis very well with actual events that happened (the deaths of Nima and
Elizabeth) and with real facts. This author clearly defines depression and
states all the symptoms of depression, this makes her article very informative and
persuasive since she supports all her claims so well. I believe her response to the issue of
depression in college students is very well organized. The fact that it is so
well organized makes it easier to understand and follow. Anyone who has no
prior knowledge of depression can read her essay and learn something new (since
so much information is given). Plus anyone who is looking for help can read her
essay and know what to do since, she clearly tells students to go look for help
in counselors.
If I were to write an essay on
this problem I would write it similar to the way Alissa Steiner wrote this
essay. I really like the fact that it is
well organized since that made it so much easier to understand her, and of
course I would want anyone who reads my essay to understand me as well. Plus I
like how she defined the problem since I am sure everyone had their own definition
of depression before reading this essay (I learned a more detailed definition
of depression by reading this essay). Likewise, I would definitely make sure I explain
the issue with detail to my readers before stating a solution. I like the fact that her opinion is the final
punch line to her essay so I will definitely leave my opinion for the end as well.
I would not do anything differently to what Alissa Steiner did, if I wrote an essay on this subject.
