  3. i felt the strength of the essay was mainly the introduction and thats because it gave me a good sense of what the topic is about, basically a good background sense. And after that the paragraphs had both sides, therefore cons and pros and it didn't seem which side she is taking until the conclusion and it seemed like the information that were used were not bias and therefore from popular or scholar resources.
