Reflective Essay # 2

My essay was about how society is trying to teach the younger audience their gender through coloring books and storybooks. The way my essay evolved during the revision process is that at the being I didn’t really know how to go about making my essay interesting enough. I wanted to have points and examples that made the audience want to keep reading and reading on. What I have learned as a result of writing this essay is that even if I have examples, I always have to go into deeper detail with them. I’ve learned that I can’t just say what it is but also explain it so that my audience can automatically get what I’m saying. I would say my writing has changed, because of this essay is that I now know how to build up strong paragraphs to keep the reader hooked. To keep them wanting to know more and more of the points I’ am trying to make, for example what I ‘am trying to agree or argue against. What I will do differently in my writing process is to pre-plan my outlines better, to make sure I put in and mention everything I want to say in my essay. I know that always outlining is the best way to go about having a good structed essay. I think what I still struggle with in my writing still is putting my points in the paragraphs from least to greatest. They are always good paragraph but they are always in the wrong places. I feel with my next essay I will be improving with this. I feel I have succeed is saying exactly what I wanted to say in my essay that I want my readers to know.
