I thought my first essay turned out okay. I put a lot out there and told a good story. But, it was just that. It wasn't a good essay and that's what we were supposed to write. It was a very shallow short story about hating my job. It did not hold a candle to the readings we have done in class and this disappoints me. I will go back and revise and reread the essays from the book and fix it. Also I felt I did not use the literary techniques we reviewed in class well enough. That too, I will fix.
As for my second essay, It will be an essay not a story. That is for sure. I understand what components of the Creative Non Fiction essay I am lacking and will do my best to make sure they are present in this second writing. I think I have a subject all set and the underlying theme is stronger this time around.
