House on mango Street Essay
This is the link to my 4 part essay of the book The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros. My essay received a 2 score. Since I was new to this style of essay, I made beginners mistakes, but I know that in the future I will receive the top scores for all of my essays. My thesis gives way to the main mesage of the story, Esperanza's character growth throughout the story.
Timed Writings
A timed writing is an essay that we write in class but under a strict time limit. Regular essays like the HOMS essay was a 3-4 day process, whereas the Sammy and Juliana essay was an essay that we had to write in an hour. My strengths in timed writing are my ability to finish my work quickly and then have a large amount of time to critique it. I need to work on taking more time on the more complex parts of the essay and make sure it is clear and understandable
Dreams timed writing
After reading this essay, I'm very proud of writing because even though I do not receive the best grades on them, I can still see a huge transformation in my writing. Something that I noticed when comparing my work at the beginning at the year and my work at the end of the year is that the structure of the essays is completely different. Although keep in mind when we had wrtiiten this timed writing, we didint know it was an actaual timed writing.
Sammy and juiliana timed writing
"In the beginning of the book Sammy starts off by feeling complete with his love Juliana, but by the end of the book he has maured to a wise young adult with a sadistic character." This was my thesis in my timed writing. I feel that my main strength in my essay was my thesis. With my theis I felt i could go alot of placed with it and branch out and cover other areas of the book, other than the ones I talked about in my thesis. The areas that need improvement are my formattiing, I still do not have that down, and my grammar/punctuation. I feel like the Sammy and Juliana timed writing was by far the one I had the most fun wrtitng.
I am still not a very strong essay writer, even though I was confident in my essay writing I still received a score of two. My prompt was how Chris McCandless effected the people who loved him when he died. My thesis was, "Chris McCandless sacrifices everything in order to be truly happy, but after dying in the wilderness, the emotional repercussions on his family and loved ones are greater than when he left many years ago."
My strengths in my essay writing are my ability to never get writers block and have a never ending flow of ideas! Thankfully Erin let me revise my essay for a better grade, and without that my grade would be poor. My goals for the future are to score a four or five on an essay.
