Synthesis

Although I did not have a strong universal idea or direction, this is the best essay I think I've ever written because I got the highest score on it. On

the AP Exam, a score of 8 is considered "effective" and I received a 7/8 grade on it. I enjoyed reading Ms. Higgins comments because I knew I had

improved and changed my writing for the better. For a synthesis essay, I believe I did a fabulous job synthesizing the sources and creating a

conversation within each body paragraph. The prompt was also easy for me and I found I had a lot of previous knowledge and personal examples

to include in my argument. This is the first essay that I really have felt proud of because I used a lot of what Ms. Higgins had taught me and

incorporated it into my writing.
