After the hard and dedication, I put into English 101, I received the grade I was expecting.

There is a topic that I somewhat do not struggle with, but think about when it comes to writing.” How am I going to keep my essay adequate…

As the essay centers around loss and how the author Daphne Merkin seems to hold onto and remember all of her lost items, the title of the essay motions toward that core theme.
