The House on Mango Street Essay
The prompt I chose out of the two for the House on Mango Street essay was; in a multi-paragraph essay that includes quotes to support your opinion, discuss the three stages that Esperanza goes through in the novella (1. insecure, 2. begins to gain confidence, 3. confident young women; capable of achieving her dreams). I feel like I had already mastered skills such as point of view and past to present before I began this essay because I've done that kind of thing before. The skill I could work on though is paraphrasing. When I paraphrase things, I tend to keep everything the same but change one word. That’s not really paraphrasing so I think that’s a skill I need to work on.
