Research Papers / The effects of animal captivity - research essay! [2]
Hi, your essay was pretty good, but I didn't really like the short, choppy paragraphs. Has your professor given any instruction on how to divide your paragraphs. Maybe she likes them short, but I think it is better to put everything that refers to a single topic in a single paragraph. Also, are those colons there on purpose? If so, I would integrate your sources into your sentences instead of using colons like that. Finally, watch out for your comma splices. You can't connect two independent clauses with a comma - use a period or semicolon. Here are some other suggestions:
... There are approximately over {don't use "approximately over" -either "approximately "or "over"} 10,000 zoos worldwide
... and they experience little environmental excitement, {semicolon or period} the impact these (...) innocent animals [is] {"impact" is the subject} horrific.
... while taking countless photos against {"against" is wrong here - maybe you mean "against your will" but that would be repetitve} as you are trapped ...
..., it is imperative to speak for them, {comma splice} they are living beings ...
