Essay Evaluation

It's been a long time since I had written an essay of this length. If written essays before where the text needed support from quotes but never written something that requires quotes and Sources etc and this was new to me. The thing I found hardest about this essay was narrowing down all my thoughts and feeling on this topic. It's quite a controversial issue and as a female and a feminist, a lot of aspects of advertising are very angering and it was very easy to get a bit enthusiastic and go off on a tangent go using too heavily on my Own thoughts and feelings. After I had reigned my self in a bit the next most difficult task was the research. For me, most of the information in this essay came from first hand experience as in order to complete it I had to find sources that justified what i was saying, almost like doing the essay backwards. After my first Initial feedback my only criticism was that I had to ensure all my point were backed up and so when reworking it I made sure to find a source for everything I said in order to back up my claims. Overall I'm pretty happy with my essay, I think I outlined everything I wanted to say about the topic and covered some very key areas of the matter and have set a good foundation for my practical investigation. If I had more time I probably would try and make the essay a little more organised and structured.
