Evaluating The New American Century by Arundhati Roy
A clear explanation of those criteria and reasoning for why applying such criteria is useful when evaluating Roy’s essay.
Specific explanations of how the text meets or fails to meet your criteria. You will need to refer to specific passages and quote from Roy’s text to do
this effectively.
It will be useful to consult Anne Applebaum’s review in The New York Review of Books of Sheryl Sandburg’s Lean In for an example of effective evaluation. In addition, refer to Chapter Ten, “Evaluating Arguments,” in Faigley and Selzer.
Some criteria to consider that might work for this text: Is Roy’s depiction of the U.S. as a market-driven Empire compelling and well-supported? Is the point
of view—the “we” Roy refers to throughout—an effective one for her argument? Does she successfully define what she means by “New Empire”? And finally, is the essay likely to change your thinking?
