Archetypes In Cheryl's Journey
In this essay I am trying to accomplish a literary analysis and integrating quotes from the book Wild. My focus is Option A which is to analyze the archetypes in Cheryl’s journey and the roles of various characters. My thesis was how the archetypes create who she really is and without them she wouldn’t be able to change. I chose this topic because I like to know about other people's journey and the people that impacted them in their journey. I considered the audience by not using personal pronouns. I considered the purpose in every part of the essay by following the thesis. I hope readers get that this is one journey with her own type of archetypes, but everybody has a different path with similar but in different times you have archetypes in life. My revision process went well. Some of the struggles were repeating the quote in different words, but saying it almost the same. Another struggle was choosing the type of archetypes because there were so many

good ones. Some of the surprises that my classmate Laura Hernandez said that I was doing more of an opinion analysis and wanted to see more evidence. I did see some parts of the essay like opinion but I wanted to not interpret it like that. The suggestions Jennifer Cervantes explained was that i needed to be less repetitive, which I thought was true. Another classmate Christina suggested to add more quotes to support my argument. The compliments they gave me on my essay was that I explained throughout my essay the archetypes. I went to the writing center and Susan told me that I should tell more about what the story is about like summarize in a couple of words which made sense, especially at the beginning, but also I didn't summarize because you explained that an analysis is not a summary and that the audience already has read the book. So, I did not add so much summary if not I would get crazy and summarize a lot more than analyze. Susan also suggested to describe what an archetypes in the introduction. She told me to add more of an example at the end of what the outcome was. Overall, all my peer reviewers were helpful and took consideration in their thoughts.
I am proud of myself, I think I have improved so much on this essay.
I am improving in revising my own essay. I have also noticed I have improved on analysis where I had trouble with. At the beginning of this quarter I would usually put one sentence or two and now I am getting the hang of analysis. Also, I am improving in Works cited. This time I think I did well in the organization because I put the archetypes in chronological order, but also a repetition of archetypes. For example, good, bad, good, bad because in life there is always obstacles and it is not always going to be good times. Overall, strengths were the length requirement, which I think I exceeded to do more than the minimum requirement that was 4 pages, improving in MLA format, and citing sources. I have improved in grammar and organization. I think I have improved in analysis and also in my analysis conclusion. My weaknesses, I felt were the paragraphs that did not relate back to my thesis and also the shapeshifter paragraph was not
understandable.
