Graded Essay You Sent to Middlebury

<p>I have a problem- my school isn't heavy on writing, and none of my essay assignments have been as sophisticated as yours. Also, I tend to write my papers late at night and few of them are terrific, even though I've gotten good grades just because other people's essays were worse. How much weight does this essay carry? Is it worth more than the supplemental essay?</p>

<p>A 55 minute in class essay on women in A Doll's House by Henrik Ibsen. I did well on it, so I sent it in. I suck at writing. Well, actually, my teachers say I have beautiful writing but I lack a certain depth of analysis. BAH!</p>

<p>Haven't had any graded yet in AP Lit this year, but probably a feminist critique of A Story of An Hour by Kate Chopin.
I contacted Middlebury and they said you can send it in later so I was happy.</p>

<p>Though, if somehow my old turnitin.com class unexpired and I can see it again, I might use some from AP Lang last year.</p>

<p>I sent an in-class essay about gender in the labour market. I was debating if I should send that or a argumentative essay about globalization and global justice, but it wasn't very well-written sadly. </p>

<p>None of them are my best work, sadly, but I wasn't sure if I was allowed to translate one written in Swedish into English.</p>

<p>I submitted an essay I wrote about European and Native American influences in the Constitution. The topic sounds a bit banal, but my college US history teacher said it was one of the best papers he'd read in his 17 years of teaching.</p>

<p>I submitted an essay on Seamus Heaney's poem "Blackberry-Picking." First paper of the year, got an A on it. Hope that bodes well.</p>

<p>I'm sending in an analysis of "stillness" in TS Eliot's Burnt Norton and East Coker from 4 Quartets. It's a little over 2 pages. It's also a revised draft, I hope that doesn't matter (revised as in, revised it and gave it to my teacher. it has comments and everything...). A- paper... my teacher basically doesn't give out A's... period.</p>

<p>Mine was a 45-min, in-class essay discussing "For Once, Then, Something" and Winesburg, Ohio regarding distortion and the meaning of the work as a whole</p>

<p>I sent a progression from AP Lang, which used Tim O'Brien's "How To Tell a True War Story" (from The Things They Carried), to tie other pieces together (Salinger's "For Esme--With Love and Squalor", and a NY Times piece about PTSD and Iraq). I would've loved to send an AP Lit paper, but my teacher doesn't give our work back. And she's a Middlebury grad. Ha.</p>

<p>How can she not give you your work back? Tests I understand, but a personally written paper? Does she not write comments on them? This said, it's not like my S even saves his papers!! What a goof. I STILL have papers I wrote in grad school.. and yes, I used a real typewriter and everything! :)</p>

<p>I sent an essay I wrote on the essay On Self-Respect by Joan Didion. It was about how she used allusions and figurative language to reveal her themeee. It was a little over 2 pages long</p>

<p>I sent a 4.5-page (typed) essay that was a pretty big assignment - we had to choose a NYTimes Columnist, choose 6 of their articles to focus on, and analyze what techniques make their writing effective... voice, tone, etc.</p>

<p>I know it's a bit long, but it's the strongest thing I've written all year (I got a 98 on it) and I feel like it shows that I'm a good writer, which is part of the reason they ask it to be submitted in the first place.</p>
