Personal Essay

Today in Socratic we learned about Personal Essay. Essay means to test or to try. A personal essay is a essay about yourself. It can also be a short essay it does'nt have to be a novel. When you write about a personal essay you can write storys about yourself or other people. For example we read "The Death Of The Korean Boxer." It tells a story about a great boxer, and when he died all the people who lived in Korea stoped talking about boxing. The story also tells about other storys and then it relates the storys to other things and other people. Thats what i think a personal essay is. Write what you think a personal essay means to you.
