(GP)I think that my portion of the new essay got the point across better than the last one, and I didn't feel rushed. However, I should have spent more time making sure my paper stayed in orbit around the thesis, because it strayed a bit. It kept the same argument throughout, pro-patriotism, but it jumped around a little with the 'why' part. (MG)Because of this, I don't really deserve a good grade on the thesis portion, which would lead to a LP on my part. (PG)Kara did a much better job with her section; I believe she deserves a good grade, P+ esque.


(MOS)We, Kara and I, didn't have problems working together. Our styles, being very fluid, or non-restricting, let ideas for essay type flourish. (CC)We did, however, experience a few conflicts towards the beginning, due to this component; the style or story behind our essay had to be negotiated, and ended up a mixture of both of our ideas. I believe we dealt with it well, and the situation definitely ended up a win-win for both parties.

This essay was a good experience; I still feel, however, that I could've done better. Content was decent, the story, I thought, was well put and organized in an exciting new fashion (the ending, at least) and the five letters really seem to fit together.
