Response to Mike Adams Essay

In the essay “the dead Grandmother/Exam Syndrome” by Mike Adams, there where good key parts to the essay and a few negative parts. The positive  things that he portrayed is the use of graphs, well organized. the negative is that in my eyes I would be scared to take an exam and then find out a family member died. When I get into a essay or even a book I am more of a visual person than just read, with him using graphs to show what he is explaining defiantly grabs different audiences. For instance, you are a high school student you can really understand with what he is explaining with what the graphs show. When you read an essay you want it to be coherent. . He tells you incidence that are the same but in different countries, like in England “ The Graveyard Grannies” (pg.176).   So when he writes he is   staying with in what he is writing and not over exaggerating the essay with meaningless stuff.
