The
following sentences illustrate that it is a reflective essay:
1. I
remember dreaming when I was quite a small boy, not more than ten years old, a
dream which is vivider in my mind now than anything that happened at the
time.
2. This
and nothing more was the body of my horror; and if the reader is not moved by
it the fault is his and not mine; for I can assure him that nothing in my
experience had been more dreadful to me.
A reflective essay is when the writer exposes his
part experiences and tells the reader how he has grown from it. These two
sentences are evidences that the writer has written his own experiences.
