Personal Essay,

A good personal essay, is an essay that expresses the writers feelings, allows you to get to know them and is very interesting. Usually with a personal essay, it gives the writer something that they are passionate about to speak on. In order to have a good personal essay, you have to write about something that YOU wan to be be writing about otherwise the readers will be bored with your story. Based on the personal essay "Superman and Me" , I've learned that it's okay to be honest, humorous and to laugh at certain situations that occur in life. I think that sometimes, we spend to much time dwelling on bad experiences than the good. With this essay, it was an eye opener to be able to accept it and to laugh about it later. Another aspect that makes for a good personal essay, is to be able to open up to the reader and allow them to get to know you on a deeper, personal level. I learned this aspect from the personal essay, "The Story of My Body". Both of these personal essays, have given me new ideas on how to improve my personal essays. These are great reads and I'm sure they will inspire you as well. :)
