A Critique of my Inability to Write

I believe that in the grand scheme of things, my literacy narrative essay is of a sufficient quality.  I put in a fair bit of effort, and I hope to get out a grade that reflects this.  Throughout the writing process, there is not a lot in the essay that I changed, mainly just citations or grammatical issues, and then some minor rearrangements to aid in the flow of the piece.  My one regret would have to be not taking more time to plan it out before I started writing.  I feel like the structure of the essay could be stronger and funnel the reader more into the same conclusion that I reached, and that the specificity and focus of certain areas was almost too spread out, leading to possible confusion.  I intended to create a negative and largely critical narrative with a heavy sense of my own personal voice and distaste for the current state of writing for grades, and I believe that this was accomplished through ample use of sarcasm and possibly too much meta-play.  Regardless of the grade, I am happy with this piece overall because I wrote it the way I wanted to.  I mixed together multiple prompts instead of sticking with one and dying on that hill, and came up with a more unique thesis than I believe I would have been able to with just picking let’s say option two and cramming down 1500 words on that.  This essay from start to finish felt like something I created.  I kept the outside work down to a minimum, just tying into classwork once or twice with a mention of Brandt and Bradbury, but not using their work or thoughts to the point that it diluted my own, rather having their words support mine through not even directly quoting.  I am happy with what I created.
