Now that I am finishing up my final essay of the 2009-10 school school year, I feel really accomplished in how much I have improved my literary skills and writting essays. The most challenging part for me in the essay-writting process is to thourghly understand what I want my essay to express, or the big picture surrounding my ideas. Once I have all of this clearly understandable, I feel very rewarded with the result: a well written essay.
As almost all people, I do have some shortcomings in my essays. Some of the "B grade or lower reasons" that I can spend more time to correct is poor transitions. I can also work more on creating a better conclusion paragraph that wraps up the entire essay and makes the reader walk away with an emotional or sentimental outlook on what I addressed.

Summer Reading.
The Lone Survivor- Marcus Luttrell
This book is on my summer reading list because my dad read it and he told me that it was a great book. It is also about a topic that I am really interested in, war. I heard that it is about a true event that took place in Afganistan a few years ago.
The Kitchen Boy- Robert Alexander
My mom told me to read this book and I've been meaning to read it for a while. It is about a masacre that took place at the last Tsar's house in Russia and the only survivor to tell the story was the author, the family's kitchen boy.
