I feel I have improved almost all of my essays in my portfolio. For instance, in one paragraph on character, I added a clearer point and I tried to add more background so that it would make more sense to someone who had not read the book.
However, I feel that the book I chose in that case had little character-development, which made this essay extremely hard to do, and overall I feel it was a failure because it was not well-written and I could only revise it so much.
I feel that I did improve my Winston paragraph. Again, I used your suggestions and the suggestions of some of my peers to help clarify my point that Winston had accepted death and that his acceptance helped to fuel his rebellious actions. I feel that my essay adequately sold the reader on that point, and I feel the essay was, in all, successful.
