Reflection

The most challenging part of this essay was due to the amount of time I had to write and revise. I had a hard time starting what I wanted to start with, so it took me a while to write my rough draft. As I finally realized what I wanted to do, I had a difficult time finding the right words and phrases for my sentences. In addition, once I got all my ideas on paper, I didn't know what format I wanted to use to make my essay more interesting than usual. I had help on that from my teacher, and I think it really worked out. If I could go back and change parts of my essay, I would probably try and link the paragraphs together more. I had the idea of having different points in each paragraph and I am not sure it all linked together as a whole. I would also change the vocabulary I used. Some of it was very childish and I could have used older diction that many of my fellow classmates use.
My essay is about mainly about fear and why we are afraid in our lives. What makes us become afraid? I wanted to convey the feeling of emotion by having a made up story about a spider about to fright a young girl. My articulation of this concept is unique because I used fear and connected it to how people can be in a fear situation. In a way, that was my evidence of how fear appears in people's lives.
When I was writing this essay I had a really fun time actually reading it. Usually my essays have the basic format of beginning, body paragraphs, and ending. This time I could expand from that horizon and I was able to use a different format. With a different format, I could just play with the way I wrote my essay. I could still make it intellectual, yet make it more interesting to read at the same time. In addition, I had fun writing this essay because it was something new I had never experienced before. I hope sometime soon I can write an essay or just a regular paper with this same type of format. I want to be able to write stories, essay, whatever writing there is in this unique style of writing.
