    Personal essays allow writers to reflect on the influences of people, events, or ideas in their lives and come to new understandings of their past and relationships. They are advantageous because writing one can help the writer learn about themselves and others. Personal essays display learning, use a conversational tone, descriptive detail, and explanatory writing. Journals are used to offer responses to readings, observations, or experiences and can improve insight, track development, and facilitate growth. Elements of both personal essays and journals include reflecting on the topic, discussing it, and providing a personal opinion. As a journal response to the reading, the writer would describe what they read and observed, then discuss their thoughts on the topics.

    Personal essays are a way a writer can contemplate the influence of people,
    events, or configurations of ideas on his/her personal life. Personal essays offer a
    chance for the writer to come to new interpretations that enable them to understand
    significant aspects of their own past, relationships, etc. What makes a personal essay
    advantageous is the helpfulness it gives you by writing a personal essay. Personal
    essays are a valuable way of us to learn about ourselves and others better. Writers who
    write personal essays are better at understanding an intellectually or emotionally
    challenging fact, setting, idea, or phenomenon. Some of the elements that make a
    personal essay are a display of learning, a conversational tone, descriptive detail, and
