Hatchet Essay
The prompt that I chose for this essay was, " How does Brian change throughout the novel?" My thesis for this prompt and essay is, "In the novel, Hatchet, by Gary Paulsen, Brian starts off negative but throughout the story he learns the importance of taking his time and positive thinking." For this essay I received a 3-, which was my goal for this essay. I missed a couple of little things here and there, and my commentary could still use a bit of work. The biggest area I need to improve in is my conclusion paragraph, I need some more examples for what a strong finisher in an essay. Revision is always a big part in all of my writing pieces, and this one helped a lot! Next year I hope to get a 3+ or 4.
