Marlow Essay Reflection

After reading my Marlow essay, I am particularly happy on how I was able to analyze a challening topic by exploring the unique relationship between Marlow and Conrad specifically. Also, after reading the comments, I like the way I was able to use effective sources to further advance my ideas in the essay, especially through the work of Karl and Murfin. My writing throughout this year has definitely improved, most notably in my last two essays. I feel like I have been able to better analyze specific topics and focus in through the use of succint examples in my essays. However, there were still many mistakes in my essay that I still need to work on. Most noticeably in my Marlow essay was that in my second body paragraph I kind of strayed off the main topic of my essay and then came back to it shortly after. However, for the rest of my writing process into college, I will keep working on focusing on a specific topic, expanding my sentences and vocabulary, and employing succint examples.
