Reflection
Throughout the semester we wrote a number of essays. They all had different concepts and themes. While writing the summary and response text we had to choose between three articles. I chose Allie Brush's essay "Menace". I chose this source text because I could relate to it a lot. When i first started thinking about this essay, I knew what I wanted to write about it just wouldn't come out smoothly. We did a lot of peer evaluations that helped me put me the essay together. Once I received the graded I changed the typos and deleted a few sentences that were choppy. I added a picture of me playing basketball to connect the image to the passage. I had a lot of fun writing this essay.
The next essay we wrote was the memoir essay. I wanted to choose something that was actually life changing for me. This essay didn't really changed throughout the process of me writing it. The conference I had with my professor did make me add more details. From the graded draft, I added even more details because I felt like I did not give enough. I put a image of me, my brother, and mother smiling on the website because that is how the essay ends.
The last essay we wrote was the profile essay. I had interview a classmate to get an angle to write about. This was my first time ever talking to Chase and we had a good conversation. We have a lot of things in common. The essay didn't change much because I had a specific angle. The interviewing process helped a lot because that is where I got most of my information. I put of picture of chase and his brother on the website because that was my angle, brotherhood.
My other work is what I wanted to do as a career and still do to this day. It means alot to me because I didn't think I would ever write a essay about my career choice. It shows that I a have writing talent that I did not know I have. Its goes well with the portfolio because they have some similar concepts.
Over the semester I have learned that I am a pretty good writer. I learned from this class that you must apply yourself to be successful. I hope this portfolio shows that I am good writer, a better student and a great person. I reader grasp that in life you go through things in life good and bad. You just have to be ready for both. I plan to get better at everything everyday, i always try to be better than I was tomorrow
