The writer’s approach to the issue of divorce
The writer’s approach to the issue of divorce is presented in manner that both men and women can relate to. Although the analysis is powerful, it may be considered a little too strong for some readers. The reason is that the tone used in the essay may only cause some divorcees to become defensive on the topic. The essay does a noble job of reminding readers to reconsider their decisions for divorce. The essay adequately brings to the surface the negative effects of divorce, particularly on children, leaving readers with a better insight and understanding of the implications of divorce. The essay also does a good job of making readers question their awkwardness and actions towards their spouses. However, the essay fails to consider that some divorcees may feel offended. After all, some divorces are justified by convincing reasons. Another weakness I noticed in the article is how the claims are based on experiences rather than actual facts. Incorporating more statistics on the number of divorces and more survey results on why children of divorced parents feel the way they do could have made the article more credible.
The strength of the second article
The strength of the second article lies in its use of credible sources to support the ideas presented. What is more, the tone used throughout the article is strong and as such, grabs the attention of the reader. The essay not only reaches out to a diverse audience but also exhibits various supportive reasons as to why couples should shun divorce in the society. The strength of the essay also lie in the way the controversial issue is presented, the vivid portrayal of emotional involvement, as well as the ability of the writer to involve and challenge readers. The claims vividly prove that, like racism, divorce can hurt society as a whole, those taking part in the divorce, and their children.
To the third essayist’s credit
To the third essayist’s credit, the essay is clearly written and logically organized. Moreover, the essay consistently cites the sources, which are credible. The writer also uses appeal to logic by arguing that while many couples resort to divorce due to their personal differences, bringing the children into the picture may possibly make them consider other alternatives other than divorce. As such, the essayist rightly manages to convince couples that there is need for parents to understand the effect of divorce on their children. Additionally, the writer passionately appeals to the readers’ sense of emotion by talking about the suffering and hardships that divorce expose children to. Doing so enables couples have a second thought about the issue, which has contemporarily turned to be controversial.
In conclusion
In conclusion, the articles do great jobs of reminding couples on the opinions they hold on divorce, besides presenting new insights to be questioned. Additionally, the essays adequately present the negative effects of divorce, particularly on children. It is worth noting that the essays are intended for couples, which makes their focus on one kind of audience rather understandable. Overall, the strengths of the articles outweigh their weaknesses, rendering them commendable and worth reading. Personally, I have not only agreed with the ideas presented in the articles and the reasoning behind them, but also have come to appreciate the way the writers have presented themselves and their beliefs. This explains why I have opted to give the essays favorable reviews.
