Self Evaluation

I was so thrilled that you recognized my initiative to explore Mrs. Bennett in not only new, but powerful  ways. My goal of this essay was to make sure that each sentence added one more piece of the puzzle.  These dense, but hopefully not "clunky",  phrases would allow the reader to understand and hopefully sympathize with Mrs. Bennett, rather than condemning and scoffing at her. However, my quotes proved to be my ultimate demise. While my arguments were honest, influential, and bold, my textual evidence failed to adequately support my claims. I spent a lot of time coming up with succinct phrases that I thought captured Mrs. Bennett in a few words. These phrases legitimized my argument and provided a foundation that was hard for a reader to doubt. Still, I could have developed my quote analysis more and most definitely further delved into my idea about Mrs. Bennett's instict vs. shallowness.
