Hi can you please read my persuasive essay and told me any grammar errors, or if needs something else. Thanks?
...Willingham was complaining and crying out for a nurse to help him because of the pain from his extremely minor *wound/injury*. ...demonstrated that he was guilty because he didn’t even care that his children were *dead*. ...to his parents that there was something about the day of the fire he had lied about*:* he said (admitted?) that he had never actually crawled into the children’s room. Therefore*,* the state of *Texas* should keep the death penalty... I would also find a new word other than "sociopath" to subsitute in a few occasions. Your use of it became repetitive. I would also do the same for "said" in the fourth paragraph. Lastly, I would reword the hypothetical question in the second to last paragraph to avoid making a question. Leave it as a statement. All in all, not a bad essay. Just some minor corrections and advice, not anything that offended my eyes to read.
Can I use a first person in a persuasive essay?
Unless you’re writing a speech or an informal type of essay, I would focus on using something other than “I.” Here’s why…When you’re writing a thesis, taking yourself out of the essay actually makes it stronger.Which one of these do you consider to be strongest?A) I think that brown is the best color of them all.B) Brown is the best color of them all.In option A, the writer is shying away from their viewpoint by saying, “Here’s what I think…”In option B, the writer is asserting that his/her viewpoint is the correct one. There’s no room for doubt, which makes option B stronger.If you’re looking for more information about persuasive essays, I made a video that may be of some help to you:

Pls review and REFINE my essay for me. it sucks. i know. but i'm outta ideas. ?
the prompt is: We might say that we were looking for global schemas, symmetries, universal and unchanging laws - and what we have discovered is the mutable, the ephemeral, and the complex." Support or challenge Nobel Prize winner Ilya Prigogine's assertion. My essay: When Ilya Prigogine wrote the above quote, it was with respect to the field of physics. However, I find that quote so applicable to life because it is one of the most important lessons that life has taught me. There was a period in my life when I seemed to always get into trouble with people around me. These problems were multifarious on the surface, sometimes disputes with my peers, at other times insubordination to adults. However, the one common aspect of these problems was that I always made such unwise and inflexible statements which were almost always impossible to backtrack from. The problem involved my flippant nature when aggravated. In a direct violation of Mr. Prigogine’s quote, I always made such unambiguously blunt statements when aggravated for want of a dramatic effect on the other party. For example, I hazily recall an incident when a friend made an ill-received joke about my family. I remember saying something along the lines of, “You have awoken a sleeping giant”, along with a torrent of similar gibberish. It seems so risible in retrospect, and one might say I was “given to rhetorical flourishes”, but it was such comments that alienated me from friends and earned me a bad reputation. Later, I would learn to “look for the mutable”. Instead of the resolute, I chose to make more equivocal statements so that I could backtrack after the heat of the moment. In conclusion I agreed with Ilya Prigogine’s quote long before I even knew it or who its author was. And that is why, as a matter of fact, my favorite word is nuance. It sucks and blows at once. i know.maybe give me ideas?

What is the difference between a 'Literature Review' and an 'Analytical Essay'?
If you have to write an undergraduate dissertation, you may be required to begin by writing a literature review. A literature review is a search and evaluation of the available literature in your given subject or chosen topic area. It documents the state of the art with respect to the subject or topic you are writing about.A literature review has four main objectives:It surveys the literature in your chosen area of studyIt synthesises the information in that literature into a summaryIt critically analyses the information gathered by identifying gaps in current knowledge; by showing limitations of theories and points of view; and by formulating areas for further research and reviewing areas of controversyIt presents the literature in an organised wayA literature review shows your readers that you have an in-depth grasp of your subject; and that you understand where your own research fits into and adds to an existing body of agreed knowledge.Here’s another way of describing those four main tasks. A literature review:demonstrates a familiarity with a body of knowledge and establishes the credibility of your work;summarises prior research and says how your project is linked to it;integrates and summarises what is known about a subject;demonstrates that you have learnt from others and that your research is a starting point for new ideas.The term “Analytical Essay” may sound foreign to you, but no worries, it is almost guaranteed that you have written one before! If we take a look at the definition, the term analysis means a critical and well thought-out observation of a specific idea.Therefore, an analytical essay is a piece of writing that provides an informative observation about the specific topic or idea.
To be persuasive, should one list/say his/her strongest point(s) first or last while enumerating all the points?
I was actually teaching a debater this yesterday.Robert Frost’s answer is a good one and covers the rationale behind the principles I’m going to explain. I use the serial position effect to explain it to my students but his answer just breaks the SPE into concrete parts.The serial position effect is the idea that if we have a list of items, we tend to remember the first items on the list and the last items on the list and we have difficulty remembering the items in the middle. Think of the English alphabet and answer these questions:What is the first letter in the alphabet?What is the last letter in the alphabet?What is the 3rd letter?What is the 16th letter?Most of us can answer the first 3 questions very quickly but will struggle on the 4th. Why is that? After all, we know the whole alphabet but we have trouble recalling the items in the middle of the list. This is the serial position effect in real life.There is also something called priming, where we tend to align our beliefs about something with how that thing actually is. Have you ever met a person that a good friend of yours said was a bad person? What did you think of them? A lot of the times we have a difficult time feeling different about them because we have already been primed not to like them.Now, we can apply these principles to persuasion. If I have three arguments, here is how I would order them:The best argumentThe worst argumentThe second best argumentI ordered them that way because the SPE tells us that the listener will be more likely to remember our first argument (their attention will be the highest here) and the last argument (this was the most recent one they heard).I put the strongest argument first because it primes the listener into thinking that all of your arguments will be good—they heard the first argument and if they were impressed by it, it will influence how they think about your other arguments.The more arguments you make, the more this formatting gets weird. The best way to think of how to order your arguments is to think 0f them like a bracket. The top seed is at the top of the bracket and the second seed is at the bottom of the bracket, with the other seeds put in between. Here is a rough outline of how you would order 16 arguments (the number 1 represents the best argument, 16 the worst).So how should you order your arguments? Start with your strongest argument and end on your second strongest—everything in the middle is up to you.
