The rough draft for my critical lens essay was rather difficult, it was a very different assignment that required a great amount of research and thorough analysis. Even though we had already taken a very hard look at The Great Gatsby from a multitude of perspectives. I actually believe that formalist is the easiest lens to write in, at least as research goes. But nonetheless a demanding assignment that requires a great amount of planning and thorough attention to detail. I have a few questions over the formatting of this essay, as well as what other peoples experiences were with different lenses. I personally really liked a formalist perspective of Great Gatsby as it was very similar to essays I've had to write before on the subject matter. Overall though this assignment was a very unique and helpful experience in developing my skills as a writer.
