Megan's blog

This year I wrote several pieces about different subjects. I have chosen two to talk about. I wrote about the best summer I have ever had. I had to remember specific details that went on during my trip. When I wrote thisI was learning about brushstrokes and adjectives shifted out of order and other things to make my writing better. My scarlett Letter essay was written about how Jesus and Hester were scapegoats in their societies. In this essay I quoted form the book and supported what I was saying from the text. I have learned many things from this class to make me a better writer. I have learned about the correct usage of commas, run-on sentences, and just tips in general.



For my revision, I had to go back and read through from what I wrote before. I saw many words that were misspelled, and there were some sentences that did not even make sense. I also tried to make my essay a little more interesting, it was kind of bland an In my Scarlet Letter essay, I decided to talk more about why Hester was made a scapegoat in her society. I corrected many comma errors, and made my wording better.



All the essays written were all really well written but there were a few that I really liked. Cauley's nature essay was very descriptive in the part where she describedthe way out to the woods. It was very funny and fun to read. I also really like Lewis' scarlet letter essay, I liked that he chose the victims of the Nazi-Germany as a scapegoat. He gave many examples of the scapegoat in today's socities. I also really liked Chelsea's Christmas essay. The story was cute and well written. I'm not the best writer and reading all these essays gives me ideas of how to make my writing better.
