• thesis claims that Nolot’s use of reenactments and cinematography shows readers how much of a problem it is.

• “Nolot also appeals to his viewer's emotions in another scenario by including commentary from clinical psychologist and executive director for prostitution research and education, Melissa Farley.”

A strong paragraph from the essay was the last paragraph of the essay, it was the most analytical paragraph in the essay and was the clearest and most convincing evidence in the essay o support the thesis. A weak paragraph was the third body paragraph, it was basically a restatement of the previous paragraph, and in my opinion, was unnecessary to the piece. All of the topic sentences directly referenced parts of thesis. The write picks out specific points and parts of the film that support their argument and then proceed to analyze them in the context of their thesis.
