Reflection on the thesis and the essay

In Mrs. Taynton’s class, we have an assessment task due soon and we wrote a first draft, which is an essay on culture. I came to my thesis statement by thinking about what I was going to write in my essay. I changed my thesis a couple of times to find the most appropriate one and it took my quite a long time. I found the right thesis statement after I wrote my outline. I think my essay is mostly related to my thesis statement.

I helped myself with the old blog posts that I wrote in the past 3 months. I also made connections between the texts I read. I thought it would be easier but it actually took my a long time to understand the relations between the texts I used and how to express it in my essay.

This essay made me understand a little bit more on how it feels like to be an outsider or to have problems in your culture(s). It also made me understand about culture and that culture can be many different things and everyone see culture in different ways.

To conclude I think this essay helped me to understand culture.
