Essay Writing

I feel that my essay writing abilities have gone from a five on a one to ten scale to a now maybe eight and a half or nine. Throughout the year I have learned a lot about writing a good essay. As far as literary analysis goes, I believe that I know what's going on. I think literary analysis is extremely beneficial when writing a paper of a novel or play. It helps you to thoroughly understand what your reading and why its important, or relevant.

I feel like my essay as is doesn't have a very strong conclusion, or very good three fold transition sentences. What I have written is good, but could definitely improve, which I plan on doing this weekend with the extension that Mrs. Gilman has given the class to make it better. I think that at this point my paper is only a B grade.

Summer reading list

For my summer reading list there are two specific books that I have heard good things about, the first book is My Sister's keeper by Jodi Picoult. The book was recommended to me by Nikki Herbison, she said that even though it's very sad it's a great read. Another book that is on my summer reading list is The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. It was recommended by three of my friends that don't necessarily like to read but said that it was a great book.
