I’m pretty sure this is the longest essay I have ever written but also the easiest. Even easier than those wonderful ‘About Me’ I tend to get every year which I think make me seem very boring. I liked my voice in this essay; it didn’t hand out fluffy facts or nonsense sentences. It told you about the character and what Sonia went through, how it affected her, and what she did about it. There was no beating around the bush.

            Something I learned through writing this essay was how to see through someone else’s perspective.  I thought about why Sonia did things and how things and events made her feel. I looked at motives instead of just facts. I got deeper into her head than I do normally with characters in other books I read. I liked being able to see through her eyes and putting it down in words to show others what I got from it.

            For my next paper I hope that I’ll have a better use of grammar and I can clearly state theme and how it relates to the text. I hope I can cut down on run on sentences I get my point across in fewer words while people can still understand what I’m trying to say. I hope that no one will have to dig through long sentences to find my meaning.
