Julius Caesar and Alchemist Essay Reflection

Ideas and Content:
My writing in both of my essays shows appropriate ideas and content because it is always extrapolates on my topic and is always easy to find the right information. My ideas all relate to the topic and the content. For my Julius Caesar essay i write about Mark Antony's traits and showed why that trait was important to Antony's role in the story and his motivation. I feel like in the Alchemist essay I went a little off topic and my hard-to-read sentences did not help my original ideas. In this way I felt I performed better on my Julius Caesar Essay.
Organization:
My organization was demonstrated in both Essays because they were both organized into paragraphs that showed strong thesis's and conclusions. For my Julius Caesar Essay my thesis was strong and reflected all the ideas i had in Mark Antony's traits and my conclusion reflected that. In my Alchemist Essay I was still pretty organized in my writing, but I had many run on sentences. Ways I could improve this were to have a more planned out rough draft or be more prepared for my Julius Caesar Essay. Also, I could have done a quick grammar check on word.
Personal Growth:
I see personal growth from my Julius Caesar from my Alchemist Essay. In the beginning of the school year I didn't know how to write an essay, but now I do and in a time limit. This has proven that I have grown personally in writing an essay.
SLR:
in my essay i used the SLR think creatively, i demonstrated this SLR by thinking creative ideas and communicating them effectively to my readers. I used my creative ideas in both of my essays by trying new ideas and using a creative way to write my essays.
