Reflection Essay

The essay written before started with a general statement on the overview of success then

followed by a personal example of attaining a set goal. The paper then after this concludes with a

summary of key points that was maintained in the changes of structure. The first alteration was

the introduction of a comparative essay to analyze the subjective and objective meaning of

success. The comparative essay is used to give the personal touch of the author and show what

success would mean a writer. The fundamental purpose of a comparative paragraph is to

elaborate the similarities and differences between two meanings in a systematic manner. By

placing a comparative paragraph will leave the reader with much greater clarity about the natures

and properties of the things that have been compared.

Adding transitional phrases and lines to the essay was another smart revision. The

purpose of the transitional words, phrases, and paragraphs was to improve the essay's flow.

Effectively arranging each transition frequently depends on the writer's capacity to choose words

or expressions that will enable the reader to understand the sorts of logical connections they aim

to convey. Similar to how transitions between sections and paragraphs help readers anticipate

what will happen next before they read it, transitions inside paragraphs also function as hints.

Sentences and theme sentences at the beginning of each paragraph served as a transition between

them.

Introducing topic sentences added to the changes made in the essay. Topic sentences

introduces the reader to a new paragraph and is used to transition from a paragraph to the next.

Every paragraph featured a subject sentence that identified the main idea of the paragraph. The

topic phrase also summarizes the argument I wanted to convey as the writer on that subject. The

topic sentence is often positioned at the start of a paragraph. It is often the first sentence of a

paragraph. A paragraph's main phrase must be broad enough to express the paragraph's overall

theme. However, it should be sufficiently precise so that the reader understands the paragraph's

main subject and point. Removing repetitive words from the article to restructure the essay and

make it less simplistic. The essay is more fascinating because it began to use a variety of

sentence lengths, styles, and kinds. Additionally, utilizing a wider variety of words and

synonyms overall improved the language and increase the expressiveness of the work.

I also decided to restructure the essay into sections to make it easier for a reader to

identify the context of each paragraph. The sections included a personal interpretation of success

and the comparative meanings of the subjective and the dictionary meaning. This gave the essay

an introduction to what it entails. The addition of personal experiences also made the essay

relatable to the reader and added to the subjective element of the essay. The personal experience

included adding the parent’s experience and my own experience to the essay. Listing the plan

and steps taken to become successful was also another personal touch. The last portion included

relating planning and patience to success on a personal, subjective and objective level. It

highlighted how the action and virtues were connected to success and also how to achieve the

virtues. Overall, the changes made were grammatically correct and enhance the clarity of the

essay making it easier to read and comprehend
