Self Reflection About Essay 3

Well, of course, my paper followed MLA format. My title probably could have been catchier, but I've always struggled coming up with titles. They are not exactly my strongest area of expertise. I feel that I had a good introduction, stating the song that I was analyzing and why. Mrs. Thomas said my thesis was pretty good. It probably should have been a little more detailed, but it was still good. I think that I did okay with citing my sources, but I don't think I had the best sources. Finding sources was a little harder than I thought, especially since the song I analyzed was not as well-known. Some of my paragraphs were longer than others, which I don't know if that is a good or a bad thing. Some topics were easy to talk about and I knew what I was doing, while others were a little harder for me. One thing that I really struggled with was my conclusion paragraph. For whatever reason, I just could not manage to bring my paper full circle and find a good way to close it. Of course, I tweaked with it as much as I could until I felt that it was okay. But I still don't think it was good enough. Overall, I feel that I did a decent job on my paper. It's probably not A+ material, but I don't think that my paper is terrible. In the end, I deserve whatever grade I get on my paper. I just hope that it is a good grade.

  1. I have trouble coming up with creative titles too! My conclusion was also a struggle. My sources weren't the best either, I understand your trouble there besides your song not being well-known. It seems like we both had some of the same problems but at least we know we did our best! Your paper is probably great!
