Senior Reflections
The first assignment that I choose was written in Ms. Wyrauch’s English 1H class. It was
a response to literature for the novel The Pearl
. The essay had organized format with multiple
quotation sandwiches that addresses the thesis. I think it is a decent essay for a 9
th
grader. The
second assignment that I select is also a response to literature essay. It was based on The
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
and was written in Mr. Hallstrom’s English 3H class. Compared
to the first essay, this piece is more developed in the paragraphs. There were better transitions
between the quotes and the commentary. The thesis was stronger and addressed the prompt more
directly. I am pleased that I was able to utilize closed text analysis in the essay successfully. The
last piece of written work that I choose is the story that I created for Mr. Hallstrom’s class. It was
called A Meal Through Time
and it was based on one of my personal conflicts with my family.
This assignment demonstrated that I can be a versatile writer. I was extremely proud that I was
able to incorporate my personal emotions into the story. I choose these three writing assignments
because they illustrate my ability as a writer. The first two pieces depicted my improvement in
writing response to literature while my third piece exhibited that I am able to openly express
myself on paper in different formats. For all three assignments, I would spend more time on
fixing grammatical errors and clarifying certain ideas if I had the opportunity.
The one national concern that I am currently stressing over is the economic recession.
