Reflection on Critical Analysis

I was relatively pleased with my critical analysis. My evaluation of the characters were pretty good. My punctuation needed to be improved and I still used contractions. Bad, bad. Another problem that I didn't even realize I did was that I made the first paragraph last almost two pages. I couldn't believe that I did that.

Another problem was citing my sources which made my grade go down the most. I didn't put them in everywhere they should have been. Also, my title was not creative enough. I thought it had to be kind of formal that said what the assignment was. I will change a couple of sentences to make more sense.

I loved watching the movie and eating. That was a lot of fun. I went home and rented the movie and I think that helped get specifics down. My husband also watched it with me and gave me his viewpoints of certain characters, which I found very helpful. This paper was the most difficult of all the papers we have written so far. It took a lot of thinking and analyzing. It was so hard not to summarize the movie. I have never written a paper like this before. I think it was a good experience though, it made me think a new way. I was impressed with myself on my analysis. I can still revise the paper so it is better.

You have many of the same difficulties as long-time English majors encounter. Practice makes perfect!
