It's titled "The Violence of Media as it Pertains to Reality" and I'm hoping that it's good.
So like, comments or something.

Otz: Yes, I have an English class focusing on research... naturally I'm biased, but the teacher said that was alright so long as I backed up my points.
TwoKnives: Well, I didn't want to put that in there, at least with that wording 'cause then I'd seem really biased. Thus, "if violent media is so corrupting to our innocent youth, we should be so grateful that they're acting so decently." I actually had a quote like that from elsewhere but didn't know where to put it in... I tell you, I'm not good at organizing papers.
Anyway, I'll have an update relatively soonish.

This is going to be somewhat in the style of a map critique so...
You have a great topic, good command of grammar and vocabulary, and are capable of turning out attractive prose. However, I don't much like the structure of your paper. It seems to me that it is just a loose collection of Statement::Counter-statement pairs. Clearly I share your view of the topic, but I don't think I'd find this very convincing where I a fence-sitter.
You are quite articulate on the micros-scale of a single paragraph, but surprisingly inarticulate on the broader scheme of organization. I would outline the structure of your paper like this:
While this is sort of okay for a short paper, it doesn't hold up in a work of the length that you have here. In my opinion the structure should run something like this:
I'm sure there are any number of ways you might organize this, mine is only one. The sin you have committed is to almost entirely eschew organization. Anyway, I hope this was helpful. That's all it was meant to be.

I read most of it, everything I read sounded good (correct word usage, etc). Will your teacher (professor?) mind if you have so many questions in your report? Also, just to make it look a snappier, consider doing Times New Roman font, and justify everything except for the works cited ![]()
