The hardest part for a paper


For writing the paper called “Significant moment”, I had lots of difficulties such as writing analysis, finding the story and using the best words to describe the story. However, the hardest part for me is to write the story in the form of an essay and making it a full essay.

First of all, when I start to think about the moment I had that was significant, I realized I had so many memories but I cannot really find the best one with the definition of “significant”. I’m not a person that would remember the past really clear. Then, I thought a lot about what I should write and chose the experience when I went to middle school. After writing for paragraphs, I found that I didn’t write anything about why I got better, so I added I found a friend helped me after I wrote half an essay. As a result, the balance of my thesis changed to the side of the importance of having a friend.

During writing my first draft, I tried a lot to explain my story in a good way and I just forgot to write any analysis paragraph and my introduction. It’s so difficult for me to realize that I was writing an essay instead of a story. And I firstly didn’t understand what it meant for an essay. So, I spent a lot of time on thinking for analysis and introduction. A story can be a piece of independent writing that doesn’t need introduction or analysis, people can just tell what happened in that. However, an essay cannot, people should write enough thins to explain, to write what happened and to analyze the importance of that story.

I was truly confused as a person that always writes stories instead of a formal essay. I tried to find some hook in my first sentence of the essay and I tried to analyze why my experience was so helpful for my later life. Also, I went through the conclusion to talk about what happened and what influenced me after my middle school life. These things did work, but the essay was still seemed like a story. After that, I found that I didn’t have an analysis paragraph for being independent and an analysis paragraph for explaining why having friend helped. I added more information and making the amount of analysis kind of the same as the amount of telling story. Lastly, my work seemed better.

To conclude, I used a long time to make my essay a full story with enough analysis. It seemed better now and there were still some grammar mistakes or confusing sentences that needed me to change. I would try my best to make the essay to be a good one and I am extremely sure that it was already developed a lot than it before. Admittedly, I wish I would work more on my essays and make the analyzing part fit better in the essay.
