My strengths as
an essay writer are organization and strong support of ideas. I have a specific
“recipe” of essay structure I always follow. Introduction first, my arguments
and supporting ideas and finished with a conclusion. This structure guides the
reader to fully understand my thesis without getting lost along the way. I
believe that I have a clear voice within my essay. My writing flows, which
connects my supporting statements successfully. My voice helps to create a
strong support of ideas with confidence.
As a young essay
writer I still have some areas that need improvement. I have trouble with
tying all my ideas together to leave a lasting impact. My conclusions are
usually weak. I can easily sum up my essay but I lack a permanent punch. Once I
am finished restating my ideas I immediately get writer’s block when writing a conclusion. I find the last sentence of my essay is the hardest one to
write because it is the last chance for you to persuade your reader.
A goal I am
going to set for my next essay would be tying ideas from other paragraphs
together. I don’t want to limit an idea to one paragraph because the ideas
should relate and support one another. Some of my strengths include organization and
structure that I can sometimes be too good at.
By strictly dividing ideas and support to separate paragraphs, you can
lose the flow of the essay. My next essay I will try to create a combination of
ideas within the supporting paragraphs.
