The essay that Negid Farsad published was effective because it gave us a good look into her life. She showed us how odd, and hard it was in the begining, and then how her past inspired her future. It showed how she stood up for what she believed in, and succeeded in acomplishing her goal. She was able to fight back something that was wrong in a non-violent way. This essay showed how her life turned around.
I really liked this essay. Her writing was captivating and I liked the point of the story. She's a really good story teller and it is very funny. She was making a point about society but making a complete joke about at the same time. I felt like I was just talking to someone and being told a story in person. I think that essay could easily make anyone smile, at least a little bit.
The essay its self was pretty good. She was very good at making points about society and added humor too. I really enjoyed the whole idea of the essay, and the way she explained her life and what she has experienced. I would definitely recommend this essay for someone to read if they want to laugh.
The essay by Negin Farsad was interesting and had a lot of comedy pulled into it. I think that's what is important about an essay. If you can lead something on but keep people reading by adding your own twist. By mentioning how she was raised, school, and how she talked about Muslim rights, it all added for a good essay. She talked about her family and compared it to school, how her teacher said that she had to speak English at home despite it not being a part of her identity. She shaped her story to make us understand as to why the posters against Muslims were put up, and made it easy enough to get. This essay was worth publishing because it showed her hardships and how she overcame them, and had a way to keep the reader focused on what she was saying. She pulled in her childhood, her struggles, where she lived and what happened, etc. This is what made her essay brilliant.
The essay by Negid Farsad what interesting because she puts lots of information in it. She talked about her life and some of the things that has happened to her and her family. She wrote her story in a way that made it interesting and really funny. She mentions important things like a Muslim hate group that was going around putting up posters about hate. She defeated them in a non violent while also showing people why you should love Muslim people. She showed where the fight began and when it has taken her since.
This was hilarious. I was rolling around laughing while I was reading this. But apart from that, the essay also was very informative and followed a lot of the tricks for writing a good essay. When she went on tangents (talking about he brother) she soon brought it back to the main story. She also intertwined her own journey with a lot of philosophical musings. She gave us a lot of intimate background about her childhood and how she grew up feeling about her culture. She put the perfect amount of background in about the hate group so it is still informative but not boring. Negid Farsad wrote a spectacular story about a exciting event and she made it hilarious.
I really like the way the story was written. It told a great story, that added bits of humor and amusement throughout. The author gave us the facts. But in a way that kept us interested and invested in the story. I love that because, had it been written any other way, I probably would have fell asleep halfway through...
I thought the story was really interesting and funny. I really liked the way the author presented the story, and I appreciated the bits of humor sprinkled throughout. I thought the delivery was really good and imformative and I really enjoyed reading it
