Humanities Practice Essay


In Humanities, we were required to create an essay, or at least parts of it, as practice for the summative essay we would do soon. In this practice essay, we were required to write the introduction and the conclusion as you would do in a full academic essay. However, the body paragraphs were to be only in jot notes. This practice essay regards whether I agreed with the following statement: "McDonald serves better and healthier food than Burger King". Here is my practice essay:
MCDONALD’S OR BURGUR KING
By: Emma 7F

It comes to question whether Burger King’s or McDonald’s serves better and healthier food. The following paragraphs will include positive facts about McDonald’s then Burger King.

This paragraph examines the beneficial points about McDonald’s. It is evident that the majority of the food McDonald serves is healthier than Burger King. Such as, McDonald’s food has fewer calories than Burger King’s food. For example…
  • The Small French Fries McDonald serves contains 230 calories (Nutrition Sheet. McDonald’s), while the Small French Fries Burger King serves contains 310 calories (Nutrition Sheet. Burger King).
  • The Double Cheeseburger McDonald serves contains 440 calories (Nutrition Sheet. McDonald’s), while the Double Cheeseburger Burger King serves contains 460 calories (Nutrition Sheet. Burger King).
  • The Apple Pie McDonald serves contains 250 calories (Nutrition Sheet. McDonald’s), while the Apple Pie Burger King serves contains 320 calories (Nutrition Sheet. Burger King).
Another reason McDonald’s food is healthier than Burger King is it has less total fat. For example…
