Literary Analysis Reflection Essay

Overall for this essay, I did by far the worst on. I also made the same MLA mistakes in

the header, the works cited page and the spacing as I did in the previous essays so I fixed those

things. I also fixed the title by making it more informative as well as creative. I proofread it this

time with Ms. Batty twice, once with a friend not from Puente, and another time with someone

from Puente. I included way more summary details than the previous time. This time I

condensed the summary I the intro and focused it more in the body paragraphs, but the same time

I didn't include too much. I also focused on analyzing actual literary devices in my paragraphs in

order to argue my point. I used diction, character, and symbolism of the title to back up my

claims. I tightened up my thesis. I also made the transitions clearer. I went over my quote

sandwiches with Ms. Batty and saw how I can include more detail in some areas and take away

in others. I fixed my many comma splices. I also focused more on arguing the issue of gender

while analyzing the literary device. I had a better balance of the two that works a lot better

cohesive than the other time around. I basically rewrite the entire essay because I didn't like how

awkward and rushed the sentences were, and started with the actual sociological issue and boiled

down into detail. Rather than starting detailed and going broad like last time. Lastly, I completely

rewrote the conclusion and answer the so what of my essay by expanding beyond transgenders

people and people as a whole.
