The essay also effectively outlines the purpose behind the research question, referencing key historical moments to enrich the analysis and demonstrate a nuanced understanding of language as a tool for persuasion and social influence. Additionally, the student successfully incorporates source material in a critical manner to support their arguments, and the sources referenced in the essay are sufficient to support the argument and develop a relevant conclusion. However, the student should provide a more explicit comment on the organization of the essay and why such order was selected, as well as discuss how the essay will be conducted in relation to the research question.
