My blog on befriending the elderly was rejected. It said that my bullet points didn't support the main idea. I went back and read it, but can't imagine how to change it. Can I get some more specifics? I do see that I didn't put a concluding paragraph, but I don't see how my bullet points aren't supportive of the main idea. Any help is greatly appreciated. :idea:Thanks!Rejection of Befriend the Elderly

Rejection of Befriend the Elderly
My blog on befriending the elderly was rejected. It said that my bullet points didn't support the main idea. I went back and read it, but can't imagine how to change it. Can I get some more specifics? I do see that I didn't put a concluding paragraph, but I don't see how my bullet points aren't supportive of the main idea. Any help is greatly appreciated. :idea:Thanks!Jen, for one, we don't generally accept articles that are lists without explanation of the separate points contained within the list.
Additionally, your main point iterated how volunteers can get as much out of volunteering with the elderly as do those they are helping. Most of your points were simply ways that volunteers could engage in activities with the elderly and did not explain how volunteers - or the elderly - would benefit.
Please either reconsider your point or support it more fully.
Thanks,
Ed
