Does my argument progress, or does it stall?
I found this to be an interesting question to ask yourself when creating an outline. Although I was a bit confused at first, I think that "stall" in this case means to stop adding meaningful evidence or dialogue to your argument. This is something I've definitely seen in myself, and others.

The emphasis in this sentence dictates the emphasis of the entire paper.
This is something that I actually do a lot in my papers without realizing it. Also, one mistake that I have made in the past is that I don't expand enough on the portion of my thesis that I emphasized.

paper is not yours; it's the writer's. She writes. You read. She is in charge of what she does to her writing. That doesn't mean yo~ can't make suggestions.

First I'd go to a restaurant several times with a few opinionated, articulate friends in tow. I'd sit there writing down everything anyone said that was at all interesting or funny. Then on the following Monday I'd sit down at my desk with my notes and try to write the revie
The writer is very good at describing the scene, using descriptive words to let us know exactly what her review writing process is.

Some readers took umbrage at my comparing mounds of vegetable puree with various ex-presidents' brains.)
Again, the author uses humor to open herself up to the reader, and make the text feel more like a conversation with a friend, as opposed to a formal article. This sentence also gives insight into her writing style.
