Essay Analysis Notes from "Geronima. The Warrior
evidence
overall quality

thesis statementGeronimo became a bitter warrior after his family was attacked by José Maria Carrasco.

evidenceThe writer gathered evidence from Geronimo’s autobiography, which includes facts and anecdotes from his life. For example, Geronimo burned his belongings, his children’s toys, and two tipis after the Mexican attack.

structureThe essay reads well, but it lacks the traditional structure of essays. Some irrelevant discussion is included as well.

strategiesThe writer uses a cause-and-effect strategy and an appeal to emotions (pathos). He argues that the cause was the Mexican attack on the Apache camp, which resulted in the death of his mother, wife, and three children. The effect was Geronimo becoming a ruthless warrior.

The appeal to emotions (pathos) comes in the description of the attack on Geronimo’s family. Rielly also describes Geronimo standing alone in a river after the attacks as a way of showing his state of mind after losing his family.

fallaciesEdward Rielly’s article about Geronimo doesn’t seem to have many obvious logical fallacies.

overall qualityThis is a good essay. It focuses on providing solid supporting evidence, and it demonstrates clear cause-and-effect relationships.
