The House on Mango Street essay prompt: In a mutli-paragraph essay that includes quotes to support your opinion, discuss the three stages Esperanza goes through in the novella (1. insecure, 2. begins to gain confidence, 3. confident, young women; capable of achieving her dreams).
This is the body paragrpah 2 draft (below). The topic is how Esperanza starts to gain confidence. For example she grows out of the cootie stage and she discovers flirting. This is a draft because some of it does not make sense. Also it has a few spelling errors. Although my thesis is, "Esperanza has grown throughout this story from insecure to gaining confidence to becoming capable of achieving her dreams." Currently, i cannot find the number i received on this essay but i have looked up my grade and have seen that i received a 95% on the final essay. I think i got such a good grade because in class we went over it all step by step and it helped to understand better. My strengths in this essay are writing well in third person and in present tense. The goals i have for future essays are to try and keep up the same mentality and preperation i did for this essay so that i can do just as well next time.
