Commentary Essay

Crafting a commentary essay can be both challenging and intellectually stimulating. The difficulty
lies in the delicate balance between offering personal insights and maintaining a critical, analytical
approach. Unlike other essay types, a commentary essay requires a thorough understanding of the
subject matter and the ability to present a cohesive argument while incorporating relevant evidence.

One of the primary challenges is finding the right blend of objectivity and subjectivity. Striking this
balance is essential to ensure that your personal opinions enhance rather than overshadow the
analytical depth of the commentary. This demands a high level of self-awareness and critical thinking
skills, as you navigate through the complexities of the topic.

Moreover, a commentary essay often demands extensive research to support your perspectives
effectively. The process of gathering relevant information, selecting credible sources, and
synthesizing the data can be time-consuming. The challenge is not just in finding information but
also in discerning its significance and relevance to your argument.

Structuring the essay is another aspect that can pose difficulties. A commentary essay typically
requires a clear introduction, a well-organized body, and a thoughtful conclusion. Ensuring a
seamless flow of ideas while addressing counterarguments adds an additional layer of complexity.
Achieving this requires careful planning and meticulous attention to detail.

Furthermore, the language used in a commentary essay should be both articulate and accessible.
Balancing sophistication with clarity is no small feat, as it requires a nuanced understanding of your
audience and the ability to communicate complex ideas in an understandable manner.

In conclusion, the process of writing a commentary essay is a demanding task that requires a
combination of critical thinking, research skills, and effective communication. Navigating through the
challenges of maintaining objectivity, incorporating personal insights, and structuring the essay can
be a formidable endeavor. However, it is through overcoming these difficulties that one can produce
a commentary essay that is both insightful and compelling.

San Francisco Giants Case Study
The San Francisco Giants have been one of the best teams in the majors for the past
few years and at the start of the 2016 season, they were looking like a favorite to win
the World Series. Up until the All Star break, they were probably one of the top teams
in the league and were probably in the #2 spot right behind the Chicago Cubs for the
World Series. Unfortunately, ever since then, they have fallen behind and are now a
few GB of the Los Angeles Dodgers. At the end of the first half of the season, the
Giants were 6.5 games ahead of the Dodgers, as of today, they are 2 GB of the Dodgers.
If the Giants can turn up the heat in the next few weeks, they might end up looking to
hold onto a wildcard spot in the postseason. There were many things... Show more

If the Giants can win most of their series, they will still be able to come out of their
hiccup they are in right now and get back on top. The biggest problem facing the
Giants are the two series against the Dodgers; one in LA and the other in San
Francisco. One thing that might help the Giants come out of there is the trade
acquisitions they got at the trade deadline. So far, the trades have been somewhat of a
bust and somewhat of a victory. The Giants traded INF Matt Duffy, RHP Michael
Santos, and INF Lucius Fox for LHP Matt Moore. Matt Moore is 1 3 for the Giants in
5 starts with a 3.41 ERA. The Giants expected to get someone that could go at least
over .500, but the Giants still seem to believe in Moore because he might be a great
asset going into the postseason. If Matt Moore and Jeff Samardzija can improve
towards the end of the season, the Giants can really turn into that team that they were
in the first half of the season. The other trade that happened was the acquisition of
Eduardo Nunez for LHP prospect Adalberto Mejia. Nunez has been extremely good in
San Francisco in his short time there and was a great acquisition for the Giants. The two
trades seem to have had good intentions and somewhat worked and will probably
become very beneficial, but as of right now, the two trades have been

Gentrification Of The Downtown Corridors
Literature Review

Gentrification in the city:

Rauch (1993), Crihfield and Panggaben (1995), Glaser et al (1995), Simon (1998),
Simon and Nardinelli (2002) and Glaser and Saiz( 2004) address human capital as
impacting the economic performance of the area and is also identified as the main
determinant of growth in metropolitan areas. Crihfield and Panggabean (1995) include
four points of production function: labor, private physical capital, public infrastructure
capital, and human capital. The researchers analyzed race, amenities, growth, geography
as well as public capital investment to ascertain the large impact human capital has on the
growth of the city, and in the case study of Atlanta, this growth impacts the revitalization

Smith views gentrification as a negative thing, and a product of political economic
shifts in local and global markets (Smith pp.92) . He notes that this revanchist or
French for Revenge city theme aggressively re claims the city and tries to re infuse the
city with middle class morals, standards and costs. Gentrification also experiences a
pattern of what many note as consumption in which those with the sweat equity such as
the LGBT community but some such as Rose (1984) suggested that first wave
gentrifiers were of small means, but were able to carve out spaces and enclaves of sage
space based on sweat equity Smith (1996) reintroduces the notion of the rent gap in
gentrification. Knopp (1987) mentions the increase in rents and the inability for pioneer
gentrifiers in the gay community to keep up with the increase in taxes and home prices.
Knopp (1990) analyzes the significance of gays in the gentrification process in New
Orleans, Louisiana. He finds that are three sets of events that present catalysts for
neighborhood transformation; the transformation included gay men, specifically white
gay men who were active in the community and also developers of the neighborhood.
Knopp concluded that, ...the class interests of those who treat land as a financial asset
can be facilitated by forming cross cultural and cross class alliances with gay
communities ( p.337). Knopp (1990) also believed that the male dominance of the
community development helped to create a
The Thing on the Stick
The Thing on the Stick What would happen if a group of school boys were stranded
on an island, with no adults? What would they do? These are some of the questions
posed in William Golding s Lord of the Flies, where a group of British school boys are
stranded on a small, deserted island, and where order slowly breaks down into chaos and
savagery. Even though the movie adaption of Lord of the Flies changes many elements
of the story, they both still demonstrate the same theme of evil in humannature.
In the book, there is a scene where Simon is speaking to the Lord of the Flies, who is
actually a pig s head stuck on a stake, and it tells him that he is the evil inside of them
all, and he is the reason why everything is going bad. Simon is ... Show more content on

In the movie, the pilot of the plane is injured, and the boys are discussing killing him
or tying him up, because they are scared of him. The pilot received a severe head
injury when the plane went down, and has been unconscious for a long while. The
boys are scared of him for reasons unknown, and Simon is the only one that can go
near him. A little un said I m scared of him, He s crazy. We ve got to do something,
Ralph responded, Maybe we should tie him down. Jack spoke now, that or get rid of
him. Another child spoke, Come on. He s hurt bad and he has a fever. We ve got to
take care of him. Why bother? Said Roger; He isn t going to make it. We ve got to take
care of ourselves. This was followed by a murmur of agreement. This scene is
particularly important because the boys are presented with a defenseless person, who
they are scared of, and thinking of restraining him or killing him. Even Ralph, who is
supposed to be the fair leader, wants to restrain him, and Jack and Roger want to kill him,
to which Ralph offers no opposition. This reveals evil because they are thinking about
murder for the unsubstantial reason that they have negative feelings for him, and that the
pilot is subconsciously reluctant to have the boys near him. The pilot doesn t want other
boys near him because he somehow
