As this semester comes to an end I've reflected back on what i;ve learned and achieved. I've learned a lot more more about analyzing text and understanding a deeper meaning. That was one of my goals I wanted to achieve and I wanted to be able to incorporate that into my writing. I still haven't gotten transitioning down or writing the perfect intro/conclusion so i plan to keep working on that. I will always need to keep developing as a writer but for know i need to learn to keep my papers focused more and relate everything back to my thesis.

     The essay that i plan to revise is my ad analysis essay. My strengths were my attention to detail when analyzing in the paper and my evidence given. My weaknesses though were my somewhat weak thesis and forgetting some important things in the ad.
     To revise my essay I will start with making a stronger claim for my thesis. Doing this can help me focus on making stronger points and relate back to the thesis more with analysis. I will also make sure to look over the ad again to see what I missed that I can add to my paper. The more details and information i give, the easier it is for the audience to picture what I am talking about.
     I am also going to revise my introduction and conclusion. those are always my weaknesses. Having a better introduction and conclusion will help me keep my paper focused more. It will also engage the reader more.
