Essay Writing: Challenges and Conquests

I have definitely learned a ton about writing essays this year! In middle school it was just like a basic summary of the book and the essay would be three paragraphs long. Now you have to put more thought into how you construct the intro, three bodies, and a conclusion to make up your essay. I have learned how to write a thesis and how to put all the different literary elements together and make your essay more like a report and something that i am more proud of. The purpose of literary elemnts is to get the reader thinkning, you also have questions to answer about the elements that always can make the book way deeper than it actually is.

When i looked at the rubric i noticed how much i repeated the word fate and love. I constantly used those words when i could be using different and more complex words to switch it up. This has always been a huge problem since i was in middle school and i always seem to do it. I also noticed that i didn't embed one of my quotes so it sounded very weird and didn't make sense.
