JE15 Disappointment

            I often have trouble writing essays or projects usually because I cannot come up with a good thesis. Sometimes it is because that I don't understand the topic of the essay. By this point I would just google some related issues or ask others’ opinions so that I can have a brief idea on the essay topic. And then I will start writing some random ideas into bullet points. After that I will draw a essay structure diagram and organize them into different part of the essay. Writer blocks always happen. For example, writing the scarlet letter say was quite a challenge for me. At the beginning, it was hard to connect scarlet letter’s symbolic meaning with Hester’s identity. Therefore, I looked up the Internet and read others’ views on this topic. By that I can have a clearer idea and find further details in the book. However, writing The Scarlet Letter essay was easier because it has sources. I think the hardest part is to write an essay like significant experience essay because there are no sources on the Internet. I can only squeeze my brain for ideas. Sometimes, I would ask some people related in my story to look for details. If I still cannot think of anything, I would probably just randomly write some ideas and make it to a story until I can write the official one.
