My Reaction Paper
I am so disappointed at what the author said. He is very wrong about
what he said. I do not like what he wrote and I also hate all his articles. He
has been doing that almost often.
He is very boastful writer. He only likes to talk about politics but he
does not know anything about it in reality. He simply copies and pastes
whatever he has read. He cannot even explain the ideas very well.
The essay is very long. I hate reading long essays. They make me very
sleepy. There are many unfamiliar words. I had to open a dictionary to find
the meaning. The sentences are also long. Why doesn’t he shorten it?
I do not recommend others to read his essay. They will surely feel the

same way once they have read the essay.

GUIDELINES IN WRITING
A REACTION PAPER
SLIDESMANIA.COM
First, don’t give a summary of an
article. You should perform your
personal opinion, not an overview. You
should always back your ideas with
examples. However, avoid using
examples, which are difficult to relate
to the topic.
