Hi seaghartey,

This is a fantastic essay. The title is enigmatic and attention grabbing. It tells the reader very little about what the piece is actually about. They are intrigued and will begin to read immediately to find out more. You introduce the topic with a brief description of how we evaluate past events in our own minds. This takes all the reader's attention and focuses it completely on the topic and the essay. They will read to the last word. You have written about how we evaluate past experiences by using an argument you had with your friend to illustrate your point. You have done your research here. You are conversant with your topic and easily make it comprehensible for your reader. The reader is, also, delighted with the look they get at you as a person as well as a writer. The length is perfect. You completely develop your topic without belaboring the issue and making the essay tedious. You use a formal, organized style that is very appealing to the reader. Great job.
