Essay Writing

When the school year began, I dreaded the idea of writing a full blown essay. I was not the best at being and essay writer, and I also only knew a few things about what an essay should contain. But during the course of this year, I have picked up a few tricks of the trade such as essay structure, (thanks to the Gilman Method) as well as using theme motifs and symbols to be the driving force in my writing. Thus, I will hopefully end this year being a great essay writer, and by next school year, I will be a magnificent one.

I believe that my essay has many things that I can learn about from my mistakes. If I want an A, I will need to be less redundant and have original ideas instead of dull ones. As these are the two most difficult ones for me to fix, I will need to try a little harder to think of new ways to say "fate", and to have thoughts of my own that will stand out of the crowd.
