---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ggggThis essay has met the writing standard 2.2, response to literature. This essay was created to shows how much I understand Hamlet. The process of this assignment was to read Hamlet, and watch the movie, and then picked out 2 questions that I would response to about the story. The essay prompts I chose are “how the themes important to the story? What role of the women in Hamlet?”. For example I used the quote in Hamlet to identify my point in the essay, ‘“I do not know, my lord, what I should think”. (Act I: scene 3).’ Since 2003 to 2006, my writing skill has improved every year. As a writer, this piece has shown a great growth and development in writing skill, compare with 10th grader essay.
ggggI chose this, because is my recent assignment and appears the most growth of my writing. Compare with other essay that I did in 10th grade, this essay show how I developed in the way I response to the question. For example, if I have to answer how the theme important in Hamlet?, I couldn’t write more than a paragraph and perhaps it might not make any sense. My English, included writing, thinking, and understanding, has improved a lot. Take this essay as an example, I could understand and write and essay with the chosen question. On the second essay I wrote about the women’s role in Hamlet, my favorite part is when I got to the main idea of thee women characters in Hamlet “they became the marionettes of other characters because they had no confidence in themselves. Unlike in the present day, women are standing up for themselves”. I really like this part, because the readers are able to see that how women in the past and modern women are different, and this was one of the most important changed in this day.
ggggThis essay was a great writing, in my opinion, but there is something that I would do differently. As grammar, this essay has a few mistakes that I will fix, and the contraction. Also, some part I could be more specific as when I said “…, this show her weakness of her sensitivity”, I could explain how the quote shows her weakness and her sensitivity. And I want to show more creativeness to the words such as I could use “plot” instead of “play”.
