Looking back on my essay, I am proud of many parts of it. I feel that I worked well with the texts even if it was not by quoting each texts extensively. I believe that I took the ideas of the authors and incorporated then with my own.  I also believe that the organization of my essay is good. There are some paragraphs that could use some tweaking but overall I enjoy how the essay flows. Another aspect of my essay I believe is good is the idea that I provided counter arguments to what the professors and myself believes. I gave the outside perspective on relationships through Gilbert. I challenged the importance of money in happiness. One downfall that is apparent is that i did not relate my thesis to the audience as often as I would have liked. I mentioned them once in the introduction. I believe that my essay in strong in the global level. On the local level I could not find many basic mistakes such as grammar, spelling, and punctuation but I am sure there is some. The MLA in-text and works cited page is formatted correctly. There was one sentence that did not flow right to my peers that were revising my essay. When reading through my essay there are some sentences that have this same effect on me. I wish I spent a bit more time fine tweaking my essay by choosing different words or maybe introducing a strategy that I am unfamiliar with, but I am still confident that it is a good essay. Overall I believe this is a good essay. The essay flows just as I would hope even though it is not structured in the traditional format.
