I found this essay a little difficult to write. It definitely took a lot of thinking. There are so many aspects that come into writing. You have to think about what you want to write about, what details to add, put them in the correct order, and make sure grammar and punctuation is correct. On this essay, there were a few areas that could be improved. My punctuation was pretty bad. When I look at my paper, this is the biggest problem I see. I definitely need to go back and proofread carefully. I also used "you" and I know better than that. Ha, ha. My thesis sentence could have been more thought out and written better. It was too brief and didn't sum up what the essay was going to be written on. There were also some positives. I believe the content was good. The information was clearly written and properly organized. My use of questions brought a little bit of interest and curiosity to the writing. My conclusion was a good ending. Overall, I think it was good but as in all writing it takes awhile to make it how it should be. Revise, revise, revise.
When writing, I think it is important to think for a few days about what you want to write about. When a detail comes to mind, write it down and then when sitting down to write the paper there are many details to collage and organize. Just sitting at a computer and expecting to come up with a great paper is not feasible. It won't turn out good. It is an ongoing process.
Also, it is a good idea to give it to another person to read. Sometimes, people see details that the writer may not see. They may think of a better word choice, wrong grammar or punctuation, etc. These are some ideas I will use next time I write a paper.

Very nice, Kendra. I think you are "thinking" well on the reflections. Keep that up! Perfect length!
