Kelly Brown-peer editing

1. Is there a clear point of view? (position)
Yes, there is a clear point of view that we should be aware of the genocide in Darfur
2. Does the Op-Ed state the problem and solution simply?
It states that the problem is that the oil-producing Sudan is controlled by the Janjaweed, who want to eliminate the "Arab" people. The solution is for the world, especially US to be more aware, such as Russia and China cutting off oil trade with Sudan.
3. Does the piece address the counter arguments?
Not really, but I don't think that there are any arguments FOR the genocide
4. Is the Op-Ed interesting?
Yes, it is very interesting and informative
5. Are the paragraphs organized logically?
Yes, one paragraph is the intro, one is the explanation, one is the solution, one is the conclusion.
6. Does each paragraph develop an idea to support the thesis?
Yes, they each describe the injustice of the genocide.
7. Is the writing clear?
Yes, except I didn't really understand the solution paragraph the first time I read it.
