1. What type of introduction does White use? How does it enhance the essay?

3. What rhetorical modes does White use to create a well-written essay?
4. White doesn't create a traditional concluding paragraph that looks back at the thesis. Why do you think she does this, and do you think her conclusion is adequate?
