Literary Analysis Essay

I can't believe that this essay is almost complete! It feels like forever that we have been working on this paper. I am very proud of how far I have come with this paper. When we started, I never knew how i was going to accomplish it. But now, I am just happy that I could finish it. This was probably one of the most challenging papers that I have ever written. It made me think so much more than I ever had, but I know that I will have to do these in the future. Now I will be more prepared for the next analysis that we will have to write. I am glad that we took it slow so that we could fully understand the assignment, and write better papers.
So far I am happy with how my paper has turned out. I am not used to something this vague in terms of choosing a story and coming up with your own thesis statement. This essay has pushed me out of my comfort zone, but I think that it will benefit me in the end. I think that the hardest part of the whole essay was writing the conclusion of the paper. I really struggled with this part. I knew that I could write a literary analysis when I read the short story, "Dead End." And coming up with the thesis wasn't even that challenging. But putting the paper together was the biggest challenge of all. Overall, I am happy to see this paper be finished and see how it turns out compared to the first thing that we started with this paper.
