Which article are you evaluating?
I am evaluating Great books.

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose to evaluate the Wikipedia article titled Great books. I chose this article because I've taken literature classes that focused on both masterworks and little known authors. I found that it was difficult to find diverse representation in literature that was credited with being "great" and found that the article also focused on authors that were white.

Evaluate the article
The article did address the issue of race. It is especially relevant today to bring up discrimination issues because of the ongoing efforts to find and honor different race and ethnicities contributions to literature. The article was coherent in that it didn't present only one side of literature and ignore the fact that there was a lack of representation. The tone was neutral and informative. It did seem to get defensive when bringing up the controversy of deciding Great Books and did not address the different opinions that might show that the process was flawed. The sources are nearly all from universities which provide only the perspective of college educated people.
