Reflection: I am very proud of this essay. I think I took three very different sources that one would not normally compare and created an essay that is thought-provoking and not a stretch at all. My use of quotes and overall language of this essay really amped up the interest and made a fluid essay. For the next time, I would just double-check to make sure that all my quotes had the proper citation and was integrated properly.

Reflection:
Next essay I hope to further improve my thesis statement and work on my introduction. I need to know how to separate between what’s important and what isn’t relevant to my essay and thesis statement. I’m proud of quote integration which has greatly improved since the last essay and I believe I’m good at choosing relevant and insightful quotes from the book. I hope that for my next essay I can include what i learned from this essay and the last essay to write an essay that is better then both.

Reflection:
Here are my Expository Essay Corrections. In the end, I only cited the short story and John Green’s video as the quote I had in the essay that was not properly cited was in the video, so now it is properly cited. I was proud of this essay, I think the language I used and the way my arguments were presented were good and I got my point across. However, I know that what needs to be worked on are my mechanics like, punctuation, quote integration, etc. I feel confident that my next essay will be better as the more I write the more I learn.

Reflection:
I believe that for this essay I did really well with the development of the story. It has a clear beginning, middle, end with a conflict and a strong message and overall cutesy story. Furthermore, I believe that I successfully incorporated many poetic devices to help with the flow of the story and keep things a lot less boring and plain. For next time, I would like to work on my colons and semi-colons. Most of the times I tried to incorporate them into my story it was successful, however, there are moments when it didn’t quite work out and that’s something that I would like to learn more and improve for next time. Overall, I believe it was a successful first attempt at an essay for English 12 and I look forward to hopefully improving for the next essay.

Sentence: “This bracelet is as blue as the ocean and sparkles like the sun.” I chose this sentence as it was the only sentence in my writing that painted a picture and was imagery. Imagery in literature and poetry is what stands out most to me and is something that always stays with me after I read it and once I read my writing and saw the imagery there I knew that is what would stand out for me and that’s why I chose it.
Phrase: “ … this bracelet became a symbol of strength and determination.” I chose this phrase because it condenses and summarizes what my bracelet means to me and the point I was trying to get across in my writing. This phrase puts into words what I see in this bracelet that others might not understand or see at first glance and that is why I chose that phrase.
Words: “ Wisdom, Wit and Learning” I chose these words because that is what is engraved on the bracelet itself and they represent the things I want to achieve in my lifetime. Furthermore, the wisdom and wit is alliteration and I liked how it sounds when I read them together. These words stick out to me because they are goals of mine and they hold value in my life and that is why I chose those words. ( that’s also the values of the Ravenclaw House in Harry Potter and I think that is really cool because I’m a Ravenclaw and a big Harry Potter fan!)
This tells me that in order for literature or poetry to be effective it must have impact and emotion for the reader. For poetry to be powerful it needs to resonate with the reader while also painting a picture to help enforce their message.From this exercise I learned that it isn’t about how long a poem is or how many adjectives you use, you need a purpose and an emotion for the writing to impact your reader in a meaningful way. Furthermore, I learned that inspiration can come from anything including a something small as a bracelet.
Poem
A symbol of strength.
Determination.
As blue as the ocean
And sparkles like the sun
A constant gentle reminder
Wisdom. Wit. Learning.
Bring these strengths with you.
