mani ;) aesthetic importance :) hehehe

[QUOTE=intelligentgal;271706]please someone comment over my essay's outline. I am anxious to know whether I attempted it rightly or not.[/QUOTE]

decent outline. will fetch you decent score inshallah provided there are no grammatical and spelling mistakes. you would have done awesome if disaster management was defined right in the first para. no issues however. best of luck with the coming papers!


@all others! i am amazed to find people asking about "how many pages? or kitnay pages likhay" or "what was your score last time?"

in an essay paper all these things are irrelevant. quality not quantity helps the boat sail to success in CSS Exams these days (just like smart work and not hard work counts nowadays)

@Umar kindly comment on my essay;

Hmm I wish I could do the same:(
A student of literature and skipped something over which I had command.I'm amazed my brain didn't work properly for this topic and I failed even in making an outline.
Best of luck dear.I hope you will rock Insha Allah:)

I expressed my views on

[B] What are the hurdles in our way to becoming a truly independent state?[/B]

I had the same outline drawn as[B][COLOR="Indigo"] mani [/COLOR][/B]had done but a added a little in the historical perspective then the post partition scenerio.

I did it in 18 pages

[COLOR="DarkGreen"]But my part B was much more better then The A[/COLOR]

Pray for us!

[B]okay this quote is about the power of media. you want to show that media/press is very important. nice addition to a boring essay paper. Thumbs up for this.[/B]

-Power of media
-struggle to achieve freedom
-relationship between freedom of speech and truth
-Keats's line

[B]i hope you are not refering to the freedom of pakistan or are you? if its the freedom of press. awesome points! thumbs up. if freedom of pakistan. the essay goes down the drain because freedom meant freedom of media/press and not pakistan![/B]

after the observations quoted above lets come to the core issue. Number 1, Quantity does not matter. 2010 i had 12 pages. not a big deal. the checker looks at the stuff you have penned down. give it enchanting to me and i assure you good marks.

anyways. i am just confused about the pre-partition factor in your essay! it was about pakistani media. since in an essay, the limit is your imaginations skills it may work here. but then you need to define it somewhere :) for that one uses a prologue. a sort of an appetizer before the main course ;)

the rest of the essay was good :P except ofcourse the remedies. they are not practical solutions but ideal imaginations :) i hope you understand. you should have defined it practically. for example: governments initiatives, peoples responses etc. what the governments need to do? how the people should respond to corrupt/biased/new monger media.

anyways a decent attempt! best of luck for the up-coming papers :)

awesome attempt. ofcourse grammatical and spelling mistakes are a big no. however behna where did the "Today's world" go? Remember the essay had two foundations. today's world and communication skills. however, it was an attempt that will see you through inshallah. for other subjective answers always answer all the aspects of a question :) btw inshallah you are through in this paper! because you happened to describe all the roles it has in this Todays World without invoking its introduction ;)

Thankyou Umer for encouraging remarks.About pre-partition,I weaved it in a symmetry.I guess it would not seem irrelevant:con
I got your 2nd point.Yes it was a mistake on my behalf because I didn't practice a single essay and didn't read Dawn or columns to improve my analytical approach.:sad
Insha Allah next year I will show some wisdom while attempting an essay.
