- The Metamorphosis Writing Prompt
4 comments:
pretty good essay not much wrong with it 1) Thou shalt avoid excessive plot summary. you kind of went into the story alot like you were telling it to the reader overall 6-7
Nicole- Your first sentence could be reworded to make it sound stronger, and to draw people in better. A lot of the body paragraphs seem like summaries. Take out some of that and replace it with examples from the book relating to the thesis and the whole essay will make a lot more sense. I would give this a 5 Jaclyn
Grammar and spelling is good. Too much plot summary. You didn' say how Grete see everyone else.
My mistake i will give you a 6 on this essay.
