Introductory Paragraph - IR Book/Quote

Abraham Lincoln once said nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power. I think this means that you will only know someone’s real intentions or desires whenever they have power. Yes I do agree with this because I believe power changes people if someone turns rich will they still be humble and help there neighbors? For example in the book I am reading Game Changers the quarter back in the football team is really cocky he doesn’t get along with other players because of his attitude. This players over powering attitude really affects the rest of the team ,it makes them feel less important, they are angry the way he rages when they have a bad play, and they don’t like him as the team leader

  1. Well first of all I thought that your thesis statement was good. I saw 3 good points on why the quarterback was to cocky. I understood how it was too much power affected him. However make sure you put quotation marks on the beginning and the end of your quote. You left that part out. Also make your reasons on why you agree with the quote. Do you even lift

  2. This is a great writing piece, but you should review your punctuation, for example you didn't put quotation marks around the quote. Overall this piece was great. :)
