Dear Reader,

I hope that reading this letter you will have some understanding o the essays contained in this port olio! "here are two essays included, literacy narrative essay and a te#t analysis$evaluation essay! "he irst essay is the %iteracy &arrative I titled 'y (nglish! "he essay was about the di erent versions o (nglish I use in my daily li e! I gave three di erent versions o (nglish I use, one with my grannie, one with my niece and one when I)m in a proper setting! I gave e#amples into how I tal* with each o them and why I spea* that way with them! I believe I did a good +ob on this essay, my irst story was very interesting and I *now it engaged my audience! ,owever I believe my title could have been more interesting! I also could have been better i I added more stories to it! 'y second essay, -I)m Right, .ou)re /rong0 is a comparative essay between two pieces o argumentive essays! I had to choose which piece had the argument and why! "he two essays were -1hould 2amers be 3rosecuted or 4irtual 1tealing50 by 6le# /eiss and -1mall 7hange8 /hy the Revolution /ill &ot 9e "weeted0 by 'alcolm 2ladwell! I chose the essay because it has convincing reasons and evidence and counterargument! I gave details and :uotes rom the essay to support my claim! I thin* the best part o my essay was the introduction paragraph because, I started o by giving reason why people argue! I elt that was a great way to start o this piece! I also

:uoted the two authors to give the reader the sense o what their point o view was on their pieces! I could have improved my essay i I didn)t summari;e so much! I ocused more on :uoting the pieces than the two essays itsel ! I believe i the two topics were more interesting I probably would o done way better on the essays! I elt li*e en+oyed writing the irst essays than the evaluation essays because it was a personal essays and everyone en+oy writing about their sel ! I hope you en+oy reading through my port olio!
