Who wrote the better essay?

The Challenges of the Airline Industry by John Doe, focuses mainly on the monetary issues that airlines face. Beyond the Gloss: The Challenge of Flight Attendant Rosters by Jane Citizen, as the title would suggest focuses on the challenge of the flight attendant rosters.


 Jane Citizen's essay has quite a bit more structured and set out than John Doe's, it feels as if it flows and stays on topic considerably more than John's. This combined with the language Jane uses and writing style makes the essay feel very professional and unbiased, giving readers the impression she's telling them the truth. While I personally got a tad lost reading her essay, she explained what all the different terms where and their meanings allowing the readers to get involved with what she's explaining, using a third person perspective.

John Doe's essay was more of a personal response and recount of events that he's seen and taken into account with his response to the Challenges of the Airline industry. His essay veers off of what the main topic is and doesn't seem to flow very well, that combined with the layout doesn't give a very pleasing feel to his entire essay. This leads my self to feel that what he's talking about is his own experiences and feelings in the first person, comparative to the actual Challenges relating to the Airline industry. Again leading to the fact that a structured and set out essay is more pleasing and easier to read.

Structured and unbiased essays allow the reader to feel more involved in the writing that's been put forward to them, the essay seem more credible and allows a reader to more easily believe the essay. This is why I personally believe Jane Citizen's essay is the better out of the two. Not only is it structured and seemingly unbiased by personal views, it flows fairly well adding to my pleasure of reading it.
