How would I put this in easier terms?

Question

The essay addresses this basic question in a discussion of the illogical inherent in the process of "striving." Here Dubois discusses efforts made toward winning the ballot and literacy and outlines the topics to follow in what amounts to an extended prologue. "Of the Dawn of Freedom" is a straightforward history of the ways the U.S. government attempted to deal with the "problem" of African Americans just before, during, and after the Civil War, over the years 1861 through 1872. The essay amounts to an even-handed analysis of the policies of the Freedmen's Bureau, including both strengths and shortcomings, and the ways that its unfinished work laid an outline for the social and race problems to follow. "Of Mr. Booker T. Washington and Others" is an attack on the policies of the famous educator and speaker who at the time of the essay was Dubois philosophical opponent and rival. In the course of his essay, Dubois suggests that Washington's work reflects his indoctrination in the most superficial of American value-systems, commercialism and materialism, and that his work is self-motivated. He goes on to analyze the historical precedents of Washington's policies of submission and technical education, and addresses in detail the shortcomings and inevitable results of those policies.

how could you put it in easier terms???

how about breaking up some paragraphs so its not such a brutal read. Please people try a little grammar and a little bit of sentence structure. I dont care if you mispell a word or two we all do that. But make it readable.

Answer 2

That is a lot of wordiness. Unless you are writing a paper or a thesis, your writing style shouldn't be that dry. You should consider submitting it for the annual bad literature awards.
