Peer Review
1) One idea the author gave in the Wide Range of Topics section that I can use as I decide on a topic is that small gripes and observations are worthwhile material.
2) One idea that the author wrote in the Opinions section that I should remember as I am writing is to not generalize things as the reader isn't drawn in by that.
3) Three of the suggestions that the author wrote in the Personal Essays and Crafts section I will use as I write are: to watch the construction of my piece, use a hook and to think of my essay as a camera lens.
