My Essay

For this assignment, we were asked to write an essay connecting The Crucible, the McCarthy Era, and the modern day. From 1692 to 1947 to 2017, there was a connection. For me, that connection was how resistance and integrity affected each other, and how the two impacted history. While writing this essay, I learned just how important these two things are to each other. I also learned that perseverance is important to both, especially when you are writing about these things. Another thing I’ve learned is just how important detail is, even if the topic is vague. I’ve made progress with that, but I still have to work on putting details in my essays, and in other things like blog posts and worksheets. I think I made a very good point in my essay, and I think I made my point very well. I’m quite happy with my grades, and I think, with just a little more detail, I could get all four’s. What I can do to improve the detail is to pay more attention to the little things, and then put them into the piece the way I do with creative writing. I think that I should start planning everything in my head, the way I do when I’m starting a new story.
