I think she is successful in her attempts because she is a well-respected critic, she doesn't make anything biased because she informs the people about why she favors this more and why she doesn't like that as much and gives you credible things as to why s he had to say what she said. 4.

If they thought; it was unfair then ±ey can ask me why and Ell give them a further in-detailed explanation. However, people will hate you because you didn't do am"thing in their favor but if thev - can't take a critics honest opinion in a good way then that on the writer not me. My honest opinion would be to help the reader succeed not fail. TA 1. Vhat criteria does Caelia Marshall use to evaluate the films she reviews in her essay? She uses the traditional film-review criteria, but she focuses on the historical and social context of the film. 2.
