Synthesis Essay Reflection
The Notorious B.I.G.
Countee Cullen
Two things that I am proud of is my overall mark for this essay, and the amount of content I was able to learn and understand while preparing to write this essay. Writing is not my strongest academic skill so I am proud of how my overall essay turned out with the mark I recieved. I really enjoyed learning how to analyze poetry, it is truly so interesting to learn how an author manipulates words and phrases to reflect who they are. I enjoyed learning about the Harlem Renaissance and how Countee Cullen was an important figure during this time. As well as learning how to compare Cullen with Notorious BIG, a rapper who had a completely different story. Two things I would like to improve on for my next essay would be my thesis and the overall depth of the information I wrote about. I admit I found myself having some trouble coming up with a strong thesis for this essay. I had some sort of an idea of what I wanted to write about; however, for some reason, I was having trouble putting it together into words. Because of this, my thesis was not as strong as it could’ve been, and I think my body paragraphs tended to trail off of the topic I intended to write about in some areas.
