'Anna Karenina' - about a book that's influenced you, from any point in your life.

Leo Tolstoy, a well-known Russian writer, who is considered one of the greatest novelists ever lived, has produced one of the finest literary achievements, but perhaps one of his most influential works is Anna Karenina. At the beginning, Tolstoy shows Anna as a bright and energetic woman who was in charge of her own destiny. Towards the end of the novel Anna becomes depressed and increasingly unsure of her situation. She begins to struggle between her passion for Vronsky and her desire for independence. She decides to commit suicide because she mistakenly believes it is the only escape from her unhappy ad oppressed life, by throwing herself under a train. She was smart and brave but was afraid of being alone, and could not handle the stress of losing her place in society. Anna was destroyed by the life society forced her into, but she was definitely not destroyed by her love for Vronsky. Anna Karenina brought a new perspective in my life. It exposed my weaknesses, therefore leading to the exploitation of my strengths. The idea that the strong overcome these obstacles, but the weak are left to live without knowing what is outside the wall of their own imagination further affirmed that I am the master of my own life, domain and that external force should have little to no impact on the way I see the world.

I would add some transition words to make the essay flow, and good ending BTW.
Spelling mistake "She decides to commit suicide because she mistakenly believes it is the only escape from her unhappy an d oppressed life, by throwing herself under a train."

Overall, it is very good
