Complete article from Encyclopedia Britannica
U.S. pharmacologist (one who studies drug interactions) Gertrude B. Elion received the Nobel prize for medicine in 1988 along with George H. Hitchings and Sir James W. Black. The three were awarded the prize for their development of drugs used to treat several major diseases.
Gertrude Belle Elion was born on Jan. 23, 1918, in New York City. She graduated from Hunter College in New York City with a degree in biochemistry in 1937. Unable to obtain a graduate research position because she was a woman, she took a series of jobs, including lab assistant, chemistry and physics teacher in New York City high schools, and research chemist. During this time she also took classes at New York University, where she earned a master's degree in 1941. Because she could not devote herself to full-time studies, Elion never received a doctorate.
In 1944 Elion joined the Burroughs Wellcome Laboratories (now part of GlaxoSmithKline (a company that makes prescription medicines)). There she was first the assistant and then the colleague of Hitchings, with whom she worked for the next four decades. Elion and Hitchings developed an array (variety) of new drugs that were effective against leukemia, autoimmune disorders, urinary-tract infections, gout, malaria, and viral herpes. Their success was due primarily to their innovative (characterized by new or unique) research methods. Rather than using the trial-and-error approach used by previous pharmacologists, Elion and Hitchings examined the difference between the biochemistry of normal human cells and that of cancer cells, bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens (disease-causing agents). They used this information to create drugs that could target a particular pathogen without harming the human host's normal cells. Their methods enabled them to eliminate much of the guesswork and wasted effort typical in previous drug research.
Although Elion officially retired in 1983, she helped oversee the development of azidothymidine (AZT), the first drug used in the treatment of AIDS. In 1991 she was awarded a National Medal of Science and was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame. She died on Feb. 21, 1999, in Chapel Hill, N.C.
Student J. Doe's Summary
Gertrude Elion was born in 1918 in New York City. She went to school for many years and eventually won the Nobel prize. She was unable to obtain a graduate research position because she was a woman. She took a series of jobs, including lab assistant, chemistry and physics teacher in New York City high schools, and research chemist. She was a scientist who helped discover many important drugs that saved lives. Elion also discovered new ways to test drugs. She died in 1999, 16 years after she retired from Burroughs Wellcome Laboratories.I think she was a terrific scientist.
Answer:
Hey there,
So, I see here that there is a passage to read, and that there is already a summary by a "person" called (J. Doe's).. I am suppose to (improve) his summary.
His summary states: Gertrude Elion was born in 1918 in New York City. She went to school for many years and eventually won the Nobel prize. She was unable to obtain a graduate research position because she was a woman. She took a series of jobs, including lab assistant, chemistry and physics teacher in New York City high schools, and research chemist. She was a scientist who helped discover many important drugs that saved lives. Elion also discovered new ways to test drugs. She died in 1999, 16 years after she retired from Burroughs Welcome Laboratories.I think she was a terrific scientist.
The 6 steps for an effective essay would be the following:
Brainstorming
Dramatic opening paragraph
Variety of ideas
Variety of techniques
Flow
Dramatic final paragraph
So by (improving this essay) would be the following.

A city slave is almost a freeman, compared with a slave on the plantation. He is much better fed and clothed, and enjoys privileges altogether unknown to the slave on the plantation. There is a vestige of decency, a sense of shame, that does much to curb and check those outbreaks of atrocious cruelty so commonly enacted upon the plantation. He is a desperate slaveholder, who will shock the humanity of his non-slaveholding neighbors with the cries of his lacerated slave.

Many climbers take exception to the publicity surrounding Team Jordan. Everest
climber Todd Burleson summed it up by saying, “He’s got his whole life to climb
Everest. Being the youngest boy to climb is a fashionable, celebrity-oriented sort of
thing. But it’s not about the mountains. It’s like trying to get your PhD at ten.” Paul
Romero claims that he is fully aware of the risks. There is a fine line between
encouraging Jordan and pushing him too far, he says. He talked about the point where
Jordan might have “reached his maximum mentally, physically, and where the risk has
become too high.” He said, “Jordan has just not even come close to that point yet.”
And what about Jordan, now that he has accomplished his goal of climbing the
seven summits before his 16th birthday? Unsurprisingly, he has a new mission. He calls
it Find Your Everest. In 2012 Team Jordan set out to encourage young people to be
active and healthy and to pursue their own adventures. In the process, he is inviting
young people to join him in climbing the highest peak in each state. (They range from
Denali or Mount McKinley at 20,320 feet to Florida’s greatest height—345-foot-high
Britton Hill!)
“I feel good about what my parents have taught me about setting goals,” Jordan
says. And now he wants to spread that message to others.
Question:
Is the evidence given by Todd Burleson sufficient to support his opinion that Jordan and his family are just publicity seekers? Explain your answer, being sure to cite evidence, particularly from the section that discusses Burleson (begins "Many climbers...").

Read the excerpt from "Object Lesson, Part 1."
