Essay writing
I have overcome my challenges in writing, but I have come upon a new one. I used to have great ideas but was never able to express or argue them. Then, last year and this year, I figured out how to argue my point and say what I wanted to say. In the hamlet essay I really honed in my arguing, but wasn't bold enough. In the Austen essay I pulled a lot of different things together and managed to express them well, but wasn't bold enough (and was too informal). And the most recent essay was not bold enough and you didn't like how I expressed one or two of my points. I think what I need to work on is boldness. I can express myself and write good sentences and not be too informal, and tackle the small things that come up, but apparently my problem now is boldness. My means of expression has become less bold, and I need to work on that. My writing has gotten much better, but I still don't know how to fully express what I want to say. When I know exactly what I want to say, I say it well and am bold, but when I don't I get caught up in intricacies and don't outright state a claim. The only thing that can help me is practicing and keeping boldness in mind when writing. Personally, I'm happy with my writing now and don't really feel the need to improve it, but prudence dictates that I should. Yeah, so English is fun.
