1.  My essay was about whether or not violence in video games causes aggression in children. It was a debate among three people Alice, Brian, and Douglas. Each of them had their own opinion and stuck with arguments that they had come up with in their articles. One of the main primary questions was, does violence in video games cause children to act out? Another one was should we regulate the material viewed by children? The last but more serious question asked was, should we ban violent video games? All of these questions were answered in a way that the author most likely would have responded. It even included some fun arguments and them agreeing on points made.  

2. Writing a dialogue differs very much from writing a traditional essay. It requires much more creativity and can become hard if you aren’t able to keep going with the flow you originally started. Traditional essays require you to stick to facts more and are a lot less fun to write. But overall I would say writing a dialogue essay may be more fun than a traditional essay, however it’s much harder but it requires more thought than a traditional essay.

3.  I used agree,disagree, and complicate in many different ways in my essay. At the end of my essay I had all of the authors agree with a statement Brian had made about parents using a rating system. Throughout my essay I had many places where on author would disagree or almost make fun of a point made by another author. But almost every last point made by an author did cause a complication which caused the interviewer to ask more questions.

4. Best feedback I got was to add an intro and conclusion because I did not orginally have either of those.

5. One strength of my paper was giving the essay emotion, I tried my best to  make it feel like the script read was something you could see happening on TV in an actual interview.

6.  One thing I could improve was my flow and maybe try making the actual debate a bit more interesting.

7. I believe your response you gave to me the first time was good enough. The only thing I would like next time is maybe tell me what I could do to get an A.
