This chapter of What It Takes by Laurence Behrens and Leonard J. Rosen discusses critique. When writing a critique, one must summarize and evaluate the passage in question. Behrens and Rosen advise writers to ask themselves two questions when writing a critique. First, "To what extent does the author succeed in his or her purpose?" (Behrens, 37). Second, "To what extent do you agree with the author?" (Behrens, 37). These two questions divide the critiquing process into five steps: Introduce, summarize, assess the presentation, respond to the presentation, and conclude. To illustrate the critiquing process, Behrens and Rosen include an article by Joan Ryan titled "We Are Not Created Equal in Every Way." They also include a critique of this piece. I believe that Eric Ralston does a good job introducing the topic. He summarizes Ryan's article and spends an adequate amount of time evaluating the article. I like that Ralston mentions specific language in Ryan's essay, such as when he points out the difference between discriminating and discriminatory. Though it is apparent that Ralston agrees with Ryan's points from his assessment of the article, I still believe that Ralston should have spend more time responding to the presentation. His conclusion is strong.
