Am I an accomplished essayist? Well, throughout the year I've definately learned and aquired the skills to write a good essay, but I don't consider myself an accomplished essayist. There are still things that I could do differently and many skills that I will learn in the years to come. Also, and accomplished essayist should feel confident of there work, and that is one thing that I lack. Literary analysis is the process of delving into the book and understanding not only what is happening, but what everything within the work means. Sometimes it can be challenging because it isn't always obvious. Often times you have to dig down deep to find the true meaning. The reward is that you understand the book and you have used the skills you have developed; overall you feel accomplished and smart.
The conclusion is most likely the thing that would bring my paper down to a B. Yes, it concludes the paper, but it sounds a bit choppy and rushed. It seems like it lowers the essays quality. The essay is also lacking in transitions between my points, which is something that is necessary in order to seperate the ideas from one another. I might have drifted from the thesis a bit, but overall I stayed with it. Plus, my quotes weren't properlly embedded because I didn't place a "slash"(/) after the end of a line, but I plan to fix that before turning it in. Overall, this essay was a challenge, and without the skills of literary analysis it would have been nearly impossible.
