Well, at least I can say my first essay is out of the way. And I managed to get a 92 on it as well. However, with a hindsight bias, there are several things I would've corrected/changed to make this paper better. One major problem was the length of my quotes. If given the option, I would go back and make those smaller and more focused. That way I could do more of a word by word analysis instead of a general analysis. This would help the scope of my paper even more.
I definitely should have proofread my paper more before turning it in. In fact, I should have also had someone else look over my paper to peer edit it. I left way too many grammatical errors in my paper. While they may be very small (like verb tense or missing words), my paper would have been significantly stronger. For example, in my paper I used the phrase "having to dance the undesirable Mr. Darcy". I'm not quite sure how you "dance" a person.
