While doing my narrative essay, two things I was able to achieve was being able to show the story by using imagery instead of telling. I was also able to create a story that was well structured, having a beginning, body and end.

Two things that I would like to improve on is using more transition words to be able to make the story flow better. Another thing I would to improve is cutting out words that are not necessary and replacing them with better uses of words.  I would also like to improve my awkwardness shown through some of my sentences.

To start off, one thing that I have done well in my essay was being able to use strong evidences to back up my thesis. I was also able to create a hook that would grab the reader right away as well as keeping my arguments organized in a logical order.

Two things that I would like to improve is my word choices. Most of the time, I would include words that are not necessary or that could be worded better. Another thing I would like to improve is my quote integration. Finding more quotes that would better suit the thesis, as well as making sure to avoid mistakes through the integration of the quotes.

Overall, I found this essay helpful to learn how to take points from different sources and comparing them, as well as learning how to integrate quotes with my arguments to support the thesis. In addition, creating the planning sheet before starting the essay has taught me how to organize my ideas so that I could see it more clearly.
