This article is a short, but deep study done on how more sleep can make a person healthier and smarter. The introduction is filled with figurative language, and the author uses a simile to demonstrate the image of workers sleeping on the subway. This is a good attention getter that helps the reader to connect with what Delistraty is talking about. Throughout the essay the author explains his thesis; why more than 5 hours of sleep is necessary. In paragraph five, Delistraty uses evidence from a book to prove that most people do not sleep the amount of hours that their the bodies need. The author also uses backup information to prove that people who are sleep-deprived claim false memories. Lastly, there is evidence that students receive higher test scores and are more intelligent when they sleep for the right amount of time. The conclusion wraps us the short article by connecting to the introduction; the author portrays with sensory language, the image of the workers waking up as the subway reaches the next stop.
The author uses an attention getter full of descriptive and sensory language in his introduction. Although the article is short, the thesis is well introduced and developed throughout the selection. Delistraty uses many uses of writing in his informative article. He is effective in proving to the reader that sleep can improve memory, moods, and intelligence. The three-four devices used as evidence are well used in context and sufficiently quoted. Overall the author does a perfect job of wrapping up a short, yet informative thesis about the importance of sleep.
