I take criticism well. Bring it on.
I know my friends liked it. But they're my friends.

The essay per se is fine. The formatting could be improved. Spaces between paragraphs etc. The writing flows well and hangs together. But more importantly, for assignments anyway, does this work fit the requirements of the assignment?

The assignment was to write a process paper - any type of "how to".
I didn't want the bland - how to make a turkey dinner or how to change a tire etc.
The "official" paper was indeed formatted differently. The lines were double spaced, the paragraphs were indented, and the title was centered.

If you read it in a magazine would you get a chuckle? I was going for the chuckle.
