Hey, I thought of clever word line for this
is that one man's action should not account for all.
to something like, "Because of one man's action, they blamed his whole faction." It rhymes and it can be a powerful piece in your essay.
Overall, the essay seemed strong to me as you displayed the pain in your essay and how 9/11 affected you. Even though this is a strong emotional essay. You bring me down. Majority of the essay dealt with how much pain you suffered and how weak you were against the social and psychological attacks. You bring the strong you only at the end, but you don't display it effectively. This is where the essay goes downhill.
Cut out the beginning because you cans still convey the meaning of the essay. Mostly this.
Walking home from school I witnessed and shamefully stood on the pavement as a bystander
to all that was occurring in front of me. Fatima, a friend who I genuinely said "hi" to in the hallways was on the kneeling on the grass, pleading the callow, fourteen year
old boys to leave her hijab alone. She was not to have her hair revealed to any men other than
her father and husband; it was analogous to the concept of a woman being protective of her
virginity. Yet, I, a Muslim myself, disgracefully watched as my feet remained planted in the nearby pavement.
You still convey the meaning from your essay. But that is just my thoughts. I just feel that the beginning doesn't contribute much to the essay and those extra words can be used to expand more on your progress at the ending.
expand more on the progress of the essay on how you contribute comprehension of different cultures and and elaborate on how this impacted YOU. Through this, you can bring the strong you in the ending.
Can you return the favor and give my Princeton Supplement a read. I revised and I need to get it in quickly.
