Review of the Article "The Body as Attire"

Please give me a one-paragraph final paper proposal on June 3rd, a review draft on June 5th, and final three pages paper on June 10th.
Midterm Article Review Paper (20%)
Your midterm assignment is a review of a journal article. This review examines a scholarly article’s strength and weakness in terms of the goal the article is attempting to accomplish. The article review should be around 1000-1200 words. Format: Times New Roman, 12-point size, with 1.5 spacing. I will give you a few articles to choose from.
Timeline: 6/5 article review draft due;
6/8-6/10 peer review: you will be assigned into groups to exchange drafts with peers
to read and comment on; I will also read your draft and give you some feedback 6/14 article review final submission deadline
In this review, you will briefly summarize the ideas of the article using your own words, and give a critical analysis of the work. The purpose of the assignment is to learn to objectively evaluate whether the author clearly articulates his or her points, and whether the author uses persuasive and unbiased evidence to support the claims. To write a review properly, you first need to read the article twice, at the very least.
As you read the scholarly article, consider these points:
• Determine the purpose of the article. What is the main idea or ideas that the author seeks to prove?
• How does the author go about supporting these ideas? How well is the goal achieved?
• Where does the article come from? A collection of essays? A chapter in a monograph? Or, an article published in a journal? What is the nature of the journal? Who is the intended audience?
Things to look for:
• What are the author’s sources? Where does the author obtain his or her information? Look in the footnotes/endnotes and references for further information.
• Does the author’s logic make sense? Is there any logic to the author’s main points? Does that logic flow naturally from the information presented? Is there a gap in information? In logic?
• Are there instances of bias?
• Does the writing style and the structure of the essay make is easy or hard to follow its points?
• Were you convinced, and did you learn anything new and/or valuable from reading this
work?
Note that you are writing this review for a general reading public who may not have any prior knowledge about the images of women in Chinese literary and cultural contexts. As you prepare to write the review, you will have studied the subject for a few weeks. I trust that you are able to give a contextualized analysis of the article–imagine you are explaining the content of the article to your friends who may not know anything about the subject.
The review begins with a complete citation of the article at the top of the page. Please follow the MLA citation format for this citation and other citations you may include in your paper.

The paper you submitted to the final paper second draft submission link is the one that I asked you to rework on for your midterm paper project. Aside from that one, you will still need to turn in your final paper. As I said previously, for the midterm paper, you will need to pick one from the four articles in the 5/26 folder and write a review on the article you picked.
The final paper should be on a paper topic that is more closely related with the focus of our class. The work you submitted is an evaluation of a published article that is not related to the theme of this course; it can not be used to fulfill the final paper requirements, because it does not reflect the result of your research on a topic that we agreed upon. I'd be happy to give you some extension, and I would like to see that you make some progress towards the completion of the course. Please let me know how I can help.

Reminder: 6/8-6/10 you will read your peers’ drafts and fill out this worksheet. You will also directly mark your comments on the drafts. By the end of day on 6/10, please send your feedback to your peers, and submit your feedback to your peers to me via the submission link on Blackboard.As a reader, you will focus on what you perceive, how you are responding to the writing based on your understanding, and how the writing is affecting you as a reader. If you choose to offer an advice, please do so in question form, from the reader’s perspective. Here are a few ways you could formulate your questions as a reader:- “I was confused by this term; in this context, does it mean X or

Y?”- “I was wondering about X early in your paper, and then you address it later. Do you think it would work better up front? Or is there a reason to save it for later? Maybe I need to know early on that it’s coming later?”In the following sections, answer the questions that would be most helpful to the writer or that seem to address the most relevant revision concerns. Write comments directly on the writer's draft where needed.Organization• Is there a clearly stated purpose/objective?
Yes, I think there is a clear statement of purpose in the paper. The author provides clear meaning, works, and proofs of spreading the Chinese culture to the world.
• Are there effective transitions?
Yes, it seems like the author divides the paper into different parts, for example, from literature, movie, etc. Each part has its own central idea, and it makes the reader understand it easily.
• As a reader, can you easily follow the writer's flow of ideas?
Yes, Fan keeps all the opinions straight, which it’s easy for the readers to understand how the Chinese culture spread to the world.
• Is each paragraph focused on a single idea?
Yes. Each paragraph in this paper focused on a single idea. The reader can catch the idea very quickly.
• At any point in the essay, do you feel lost or confused?
No, they are easy to understand. But one of the paragraphs

CHIN 3136W P...iew Sheet.docx• Is each paragraph focused on a single idea?
Yes. Each paragraph in this paper focused on a single idea. The reader can catch the idea very quickly.
• At any point in the essay, do you feel lost or confused?
No, they are easy to understand. But one of the paragraphs seems to transits from the previous paragraph suddenly, and it’s a little bit confusing for me because I may not get why the author mentioned this point here suddenly. The previous paragraph and the next paragraph are talking about how Chinese culture is affected (from artistic and movie), and between these two paragraphs, it’s mentioned Confucianism suddenly, maybe it’s a little bit strange here?
• Do any of the ideas/paragraphs seem out of order, too early or too late to be as effective as they could?
No. Because they are independent paragraphs and are having central ideas, there is no effect on reading and may make the paragraphs look strange to read.Development and Support• Is each main point/idea made by the writer clearly developed and explained?
I saw there are some citations in the paragraphs, and I’m not sure if the sentences are quoted. If the sentences are quoted, the author needs to add the mark as her quotations. I think the main ideas are made well. She not only mentioned what happened but also what people should do to recover the situations.
• Is the support/evidence for each point/idea persuasive and appropriate?
I think the author can add some works as evidence to strengthen the idea. For example, in the second paragraph, maybe the author can add some work to show “cultural communication” between China and the west.
• Is the connection between the support/evidence, main point/idea, and the overall point of the essay made clear? Is all evidence adequately cited?
I didn’t see much evidence in the paper. The author uses good resources or citations in the paper, but not a lot of evidence to strengthen the ideas. Other than this, I think the author made a good connection between the support and the main idea, which made the essay clear and easy to read. And all the evidence is adequately cited, which also did a great job.
