Thesis and points

Thesis
The authors disagree with custody decisions and provide emotional and logical arguments, although they have different ways of expressing their opinions and have different backgrounds.
1. In the article, “Equal Protection Under the Law?” it shows judicial bias, maternal bias, professional bias, and even the author shows bias about the subject of child custody.
2. The author, Anne P. Mitchell, is a Stanford Law School graduate and attorney.
3. “Against Presumptive Joint Custody: A Custodial Father Explains the Issues”, is written with an emotional bias.
4. While reading Dahlsad’s article, the first sentence and how it is written tells how he feels. “
5. “Equal Protection Under the Law?” Mitchell mentions the tender year doctrine.
6. Each article shows bias on the topic of tender year doctrine.
7. In Dahlsads article, parents that aren’t custodial in North Dakota and feel that they don’t participate enough are fighting for rights, called Shared Parenting Initiative.
8. Mitchell is a law graduate from and fathers right attorney.
9. These two articles were in agreement on how the tender year doctrine was being used still when it shouldn’t be.

  1. Your thesis setted up what you were going to be talking about over the paper but didn't really grab my attention. Like i wrote to amando i dont really have much room to talk because i have never been good with thesis statements. With most of your beggining sentences it seems like you just kind of jump right in to facts and dont really set up your paragraph. I understand a little bit about what your paragraphs are going to be about but that is mainly just because like i said you jump right into the facts.

  4. Perhaps the thesis could be a little more grabbing... maybe present the names of the author's and the subject somehow. You do a very good job of keeping the sentences relevant to your thesis. You talk about emotional bias and logistical facts, looks good. Maybe conclusion could be a better summary sentence with a review of your thoughts on the article.
