Looking at the breakdown of my verb choices, most of my verbs are general and vague. I could definitely work on making my verbs more vivid and specific to enhance my essay. However, there are not too many passive verbs and the few that I did use were incorporated into my essay so that they flow.

To overall improve my essay, I need to provide more specific and vivid verbs to help my reader engage in the controversy more. This will also make my project less boring.
