I believe my narrative essay went rather well. I had some difficulty piecing it together; I wrote the first two halves of the narrative and found in the final draft of the essay, and was originally unsure if I even wanted to include the second half because it would delay any statements about the point of the essay--that fate must have had a role in my college experience. So, I split the narrative up, concluding the first half with an explanation and anatomy of the word, and tried my best to continue the flow of the story naturally. It is rare for me to write an essay completely non-linearly; I usually write it beginning to end and return to edit the rest all at once. However, this time, I wrote bits and pieces of different sections because good ideas or excellent phrasing for what I wanted to say later or earlier than where I was writing kept popping into my head, so I'd get going on another section and then go to another.
In any case, I feel the essay went well. For my revision, I might want to find a smoother way of integrating research, and even look for more to incorporate into the essay. I spent a long time researching this topic, but had difficulty finding anything on such an abstract philosophical concept. Likewise, I feel some phrasing is a little awkward at times, which I think I should work on a little. Besides this, I am proud of the result of the first draft of this essay.
