Essay 5 Lecture 2 — Criteria And Applying Criteria
Supplement Lecture Text:
Criteria for a Pizza Parlor:
A clean environment. Fast and friendly service. Menu options other than pizza. Free refills. Little grease on the crust. Having my types of crusts. Having many topping choices. What else can you think of?
Let’s pretend we’re thinking of the same Pizza Hut, and it’s clean, it has fast and friendly service, no grease on the crust, many topping choices, and many types of crusts, but it doesn’t have other menu options. Because Pizza Hut fulfills the majority of the criteria we picked, we could argue Pizza Hut is a perfect pizza place.
Example thesis:
Pizza Hut is a perfect pizza parlor because of its clean environment, its fast and friendly service, and its ample topping choices.
We’re not evaluating pizza parlors, though; we’re evaluating blogs. What criteria could we use for blogs?
