Essay "Dropping the F-Bomb"
Central Claim: "We may be entering an era in which this fabled vulgarity is on its way to becoming just another word. For the good of human communication we must come together, as a people, to protect this word, and ensure that, years from now, it remains obscene." (p. 394)
My Central Claim: "The f-word has its place in proper society, however we must teach its proper meaning and limit its exposure to children." (p. 2)
My Revised Central Claim: "The author, after establishing proper credibility, argues that the word can be responsibly used, but over the past 20 years it's meaning has become so manipulated and twisted that it is now shunned by most. We as Americans need to change the frequency and context with which we use it, particularly in front of our children."
My Conclusion: "I believe Achenbach has some very valid points in his article."

Overall, the paper is good. However, it is more of a response paper. Try to include more of how the author tries to give off his argument to go along with the summary in order to have an analysis. The thesis should be more revolved around how the author makes the argument rather than a summary of the paper.
