"Visibly Absent" Final Draft Reflection

I am extremely pleased with how my final draft turned out. I believe it is a very detailed examination of the elements and structure of the poem I choose. I worked very hard on trying to form a thesis statement that was argumentative and not just a summary of the poem. I also spent a lot of my focus on connecting the concluding sentences in my body paragraphs back to my thesis.  It was easy for me to make my conclusion and end the essay with the readers having something to think about. However, I found it difficult to use correct grammar and to connect my conclusion sentences back to the thesis. Overall my strengths in this essay were my conclusion and connecting my quotes to my body paragraphs. Nonetheless, my weaknesses in this essay were grammar and the introduction. If I had more time to improve upon this essay, I would have added more of my original ideas about the topic. I also would have made the topic sentence more catchy so that the reader does not decide to stop reading. The three things I believe I will get top points on for this essay are quotes used as evidence in body paragraphs, conclusion reinforces the argument and conclusion leaves readers with something to think about. The three things I will most likely lose points on are the introduction catches the readers’ attention, essay is free of grammatical errors and ideas are original and not just stating the obvious.
