Confessions of a Slob
A quick tour through my house will convince you that I am an extremely messy person. In fact, some would say I'm a slob. Starting in my bedroom, you will see clothes tossed around as if thieves had just looted the place.T-shirts dangle from door knobs, socks sit balled up on top of the dresser, and blue jeans cover the floor like a drop cloth. A trail of shoes and sneakers leads you out of the bedroom and into the bathroom. There you will stand on a sopping towel and see a blow-dryer and a copy of Newsweek lying on the sink alongside an uncapped tube of Crest. Just behind you is the towel rack: no towel, naturally, just a dripping shirt and a crusty old bathrobe belt. Next to the bathroom is the kitchen--slob headquarters. To the left are erupting bags of garbage, a bald tire, and a tall stack of yellow newspapers. To the right you'll notice a greasy oven stacked high with pots and--beside it--a sink full of gray water and dirty dishes
The lack of specific details.
The lack of coherence.
Are my examples relevant?
Are my examples well chosen?
Are there enough examples to make each point clear and persuasive?
