In short, this essay is about growing up. More specifically, it is growing up as the youngest of three girls - always being jealous, and now regretting it.
2- What was the most challenging aspect of writing and rewriting this essay.
Hmmmm. The most challenging aspect of writing this essay was probably getting the ideas for the concrete examples. For a while, I was stuck. I had no idea what to write about. Then, I had a brain-blast, and thought about writing about about Maternal Deprivation. It was really random, since my mom had mentioned it to me for some reason a few years ago. I had a little trouble making it long enough. I had to pry open my mind to elaborate on my ideas, which I guess was a good thing even though it was frustrating.
3- If you could go back and make changes or additions, what would you do? Why?
I would put more in my paragraph about growing up. I feel like I could have just said more about the idea, but just didn't have time to elaborate. While writing it, I couldn't think of more to say. But if I could have just thought about it for more time, I feel like I could have written much more. I could have added more ideas about what it was like to be little and jealous of my sisters. I would maybe add another paragraph about the experiment: A Class Divided. It is interesting how people pick on people based on looks, even at such a young age. I could have elaborated a lot on this subject, since there's so much to say.
4- What was most unexpected - or unexpectedly fun - about writing this essay.
I think this is the most fun essay I have ever written. Usually, I think to myself: "Oh great. An essay." And that's how I started out this time as well. However, it was so much fun to write! I always thought that that was an interesting dream, and was glad to write it down. Writing about growing up was really interesting to me. I never really realized how much I miss being a little kid. I also really enjoyed doing research. I found the study Maternal Deprivation to be intriguing. I'm interested in psychology, so to go into more depth was motivating. Researching the minuet was the most fun, however. I was looking on YouTube, and found some very interesting people dancing the minuet. I found a commercial for Harry Potter: The Goblet of Fire transformed into a commercial for Twilight with a voice-over, which was hilarious.
