The feeling I got from the first essay in AP Lang, was not exactly ecstatic. I was confused about how to start the essay since there was no format for me to begin with, and I was pressured by the time limit and completely forgot to plan for my essay. By the time that I noticed that my whole essay was a complete mess, I had already used half of my time up. I had no composition or theme, and the ideas were all over the place instead of in a certain area of the essay.

I actually enjoyed the content of the passage but when it came to the topic I was confused about what exactly it was telling me to write about.

My essay probably sounds unsure and not too neat or coordinated. But since the passage was interesting, I enjoyed reading the passage but was in shock while writing. When I read over my essay in the end I figured that I did really badly. As I figured, the first essay in AP Lang was not exactly something I did too great on, and I probably never want to go back and remember the moment while I was writing in confusion. I was lost and had no idea what I was doing during the whole time I was

Reflective Essay On Rhetorical Analysis

The very first essay grade I received back in that class was the summer homework. It is now safe to say, I was not as strong of a writer as I thought myself to be. In that essay, I realized that I did not thoroughly check my papers for grammatical and punctuation errors as well as I should. Basically, I was too lazy to proof read my own papers before submitting them to teachers. Also, within that essay, I was scrutinized relentlessly for the numerous amounts of vague statements I used to use in…

importantly, though, I assessed what I was struggling with in terms of synthesis essay writing. The primary error that I noticed myself making was poor, lengthy planning of my essay. Though my plan wasn’t exactly terrible, it wasn’t great either. In an attempt to add nuance to my essay and potentially earn the sophistication point, I made my thesis statement conditional but difficult to argue for. In my jot outline for this essay, I organized the body paragraphs and main points but didn’t actually…
