Odyssey essay
You can see how much my writing has changed since my first timed writing. This was my latest one, and you can see how the structure of it is more complete.
The prompt for this piece is, "One of the themes in Greek mythology is that 'Man is nothing without the gods.' Compare and contrast the ways the gods help or hinder Odysseus and ultimately prove this statement true or false." The thesis I made for this is, " In this story, the gods both can help or hinder the mortals." For this piece I feel I would still give myself a 3-, because my teachers didn't officially grade this paper, more just gave us points for doing it. My strengths would have to be the concrete details that I chose to support my topic sentences. Improvement could be made again on my commentary, on almost all my papers I have struggled with that. Next year I hope to improve on my commentary and get around a 4 grade on it.
