Metacognition: Kite Runner Essay

Writing is not my strong point. Essays can sometimes take excruciating amounts of times to finish and still end up as dull and bland sheets of writing. This piece on The Kite Runner was not all too hard to write. Having genuine interest in the subject is always helpful and at times I found myself almost enjoying the formation of the essay.

Despite the advice of Mr. Allen about writing the paragraphs out of order, I still felt most comfortable going through the essay from beginning to end. Whether or not this was a smart choice will soon be seen.

The aspect that I had the most trouble with was thinking of good transitions between paragraphs. Improving this would probably make my essays flow smoothly, a desirable effect.

I feel that The Kite Runner was an ideal book to write an essay on in that finding evidence to support claims was fairly easy. Fleshing out the ideas in my head became the main task, showing that I still need to work on some basic writing skills.
