Macbeth Essay ~ Afterthoughts

After doing the essay, I felt a little more confident, not going to lie. I wrote and okay essay, similar to my other essays, in under the 30 minutes. And yes, I am sure it was 30 minutes because I actually timed myself. Does the time necessarily mean I will do well on the AP test next Wednesday? Of course not, but I wrote a mediocre essay in the time given. To be quite honest, I would have written this essay sooner if I had understood the prompt, but I didn't. At least not until Preston explained it to 5th period today. The huge ass quote before the actual prompt seemed to throw me off, but I was able to incorporate slivers of it here and there in my actual essay. Like always, I seem to reiterate things I say within my essay, definitely something I need to work on for the test, and for college essays. I also chose to not write the essay on Macbeth, I chose Lady Macbeth because I felt like I, specifically, could argue it a lot better. I may have done this essay "wrong" or "incorrectly," but Preston also said that this essay was meant to show us the constraints we will have on the real test, a sort of simulation. Overall, my writing needs major improvements, and it always will (there's always room for improvement).
