James Poniewozik's central claim states,
"On ABC's hit comedy-soap Ugly Betty, she's a fashion magaizne assistant who is distinctly unfashionable- chunky sweaters, frizzy hair, bear-trap braces- but succeeds through good old Yankee values like perseverence, optimism, and hard work" Page 154
My central claim reads,
"This paper is written from a definitive argument style, where Mr. Poniewozik breaks down the key terms, such as American and immigrant, and defines them. He then uses these definitions, in combination with examples to prove his point" Page 1
My revised central claim is,
The author uses a claim of definition in this argument, where he defines the words "American" and "Immigrant" and shows how Ugly Betty reflects each of these.
My conclusion says,
"America is a melting pot. It was these beliefs that the United States were founded on, and Poniewozik believes that these are the beliefs that should continue to shine through our culture" Page 3

I liked your paper. You used the article well and showed how the author wrote this article for a certain article. You do a good job of giving evidence and backing up what the author says. You also did a good job of "picking apart" the essay to show what Poniewozik was probably thinking when he wrote it and why. I don't think there is much else you could add to you essay, although I'm sure you could find something if you want.
