This piece of writing was my second essay of my high school carreer and I feel like I stepped it up from my And Then There Were None essay. I had learned how to write in a more mature way or "the high school" way. This essay is longer and contains more detail than the other. It shows my progress that I had made in my writing in just a few months. I once again worked my hardest on correctly integrating my quotes in an interesting way when using them for support.
For me, it was especially satisfying to see the final product. It is a bit difficult when you are in the process of writing a paper but, for me, when you step back and can look at the finished product it is completely worth all the hard work. On this essay in particular, I did a lot of editing to get from my rough draft to my final draft. I am always looking for places to improve in my writing and this essay I had very high standards for. This novel is a classic and I wanted to do it justice. Editing this piece of work, I not only realized the lessons that Jean Louise ("Scout") had learned throughout the book, but I had learned some lessons from it as well. If I had to choose something to do differently, I would most likely go back and, once again, add more detail. I feel like there is always more that you can add to make the essay better and less vague. Overall, I am very proud of this piece of work I have produced because of the strong quotes I used to support my thesis.
