Feedback On In Class Essay

Honestly, as soon as I left the classroom I was too happy that the essay was over that I tried to forget it ever happened. So really, nothing occurred to me after I left. I know for a fact that my conclusion and introduction were not the best so if I would had had more time I would have put more thought into it and maybe been more creative. I feel like that day we should had had less time on the journal and more on the essay. But overall essays are always stressful for me because I don't feel like I am a good writer.
Surprisingly, I don't think I did too badly for only having about thirthy minutes  to write a whole essay. I didn't like the time crunch because I tend to not work well under pressure, but I feel like it wasn't too bad. I feel that if I had had the time to write my essay with more thought, I would have written more examples of Montaigne's life lessons. I would have mentioned that Montaigne gives sarcastic advice to the reader. I forgot about that aspect of his writing, which could have been contrasted to Austen's absence of sly humor and use of direct advice. Her way of presenting themes is by indirectly incorporating them into her plot lines and hoping the reader picks up on her messages.
