The argument in Nisey Williams’ “Why I Hate Britney” essay is one that is very ad homonym. She is constantly attacking Britney Spears on a personal level. I’d like to say she has a lot of evidence to support such fervent opposition to the famous pop star; however, even Nisey admits there is “no documented evidence” (Williams). This puts the credulity of her facts in question. Much of her support comes from personal opinion and what is considered to be fashion trends. There is no set evidence to support her claims.
Her style of writing gets the reader involved. Much of what she says challenges the reader to think as she sees things. She asks rhetorical questions such as “How much worse will these statistics be by the time my daughter reaches the age of fifteen?” It leaves the reader rather concerned, and leaves the reader more open to taking Williams’ words more seriously. Although she states in earnest that she blames Britney for her fear of motherhood, Nisey Williams then strays from the original thought to go to pop culture as a whole. To me, this is a switch of focus in the main point; however, the purpose of her essay is well met. She wanted to get across why she is concerned about motherhood and succeeded in doing so.
For these reasons I have stated, I give Nisey Williams’ essay a B+ grade of 88.9%.

I completely agree that Williams is very much attacking Brittney on a personal level, which I think is hard to claim that one person can be to blame for such a huge problem.
You found some points that I didn't think of- great analysis!
I chose to write about the Brittney essay as well. I also found it very hostile toward and attacking of Brittany. I think Williams would have provided more specific evidence of her claim her argument would have been much more effective.
