Opinions of my essay examples?

<p>Since other people are posting theirs, here is mine:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>I gave the example of how, in Les Miserables by Victor Hugo, Bishop Myriel did the small good deed of not pressing charges against Jean Valjean when he stole the Bishop’s candlesticks. I explained how the Bishop’s small decision to be merciful made Jean Valjean into a devout altruist for the rest of his life.</p></li>
<li><p>I basically spoke of procrastination and how throughout my high school career I have learned that not studying for a small quiz or skipping a night of homework can change a lot gradewise for the long-term.</p></li>
