Reflect on your experience with the Literary Analysis assignment. Starters: Did you like it or not and why? Was it difficult or easy and why? What was your writing process for this assignment, and did this experience inspire you to make some changes for the next assignment?

Initially I was having trouble wrapping my head around the assignment. After watching the episodes again i realized how easy it was. I did really like the literally analysis assignment because it was a pretty straight forward prompt. After I figured out what my definition of power would be it was easy to find examples from the two episodes and compare/ relate them. My process was fairly simple: I determined how I would define power, found the examples of power throughout the two films and then explained how the relate to my definition of power. The toughest thing about the essay for me was figuring out how to structure the piece. I initially had way too many ideas and it would’ve been too much to put into one essay. I went to the write place at the library and they were very helpful in helping me get rid of the not so necessary points; they also helped me with my structure. I had my broad intro, then defined what some terms in the intro meant in the next paragraph, then had my two example paragraphs then my conclusion. Another hard part was learning how to do the citations for episodes in the correct format. I have never had to cite a tv show before and this gave me some trouble. This inspired me to make some changes for the next assignment because I have been very narrowminded in my structure since high school. We were taught a good way to go about it but I have always went straight to that way as default. The write place and literary analysis examples helped me see past this.

Overall, I really enjoy literary analysis essays because they are pretty straight forward.
