Portfolio Time
Wow! We are almost done, but there is still so much left to do! The three papers I am submitting in my portfolio are my personal analysis, my close reading paper, and of course, my research paper. The paper I am happiest with right now is my research paper. I think that I really lucked out finding such a popular movie with such a clear topic to write about it with. The paper that still needs a lot of work is probably my personal analysis. I just re wrote it, and it is waaaaay better, but I am not at the 5 page minimum and am all out of things to say! My epigraph paper is also pretty rough, but with a little more editing, I think it will be ok. My research paper is strong because I found the balance between my primary source and my outside topic of stereotyping. I want to say thanks to all my group members for helping so much, Thanks guys!!!

First of all, your research paper and your personal analysis right now are both awesome! I'm really jealous that with your research paper was able to find such a clear argument and you're almost done! I feel like I still have a bunch to do with my research paper even though I've already spent countless hours on it. Hopefully by the end of next week everything will be falling into place. Anyway I really enjoyed your use of visuals throughout your research paper and it definitely added a lot to your argument. With your personal analysis, I mean I've always been a Nirvana fan so I pretty much loved it from the get-go, but I think since yesterday, the imagery and elaboration you added definitely benefited your paper, I think it will turn out to be a really strong piece. If you just find a way to tie it together like we talked about it will be even better! You could even mention that yeah, those two things are completely different, and kind of go off the irony that a seemingly "good" thing like washing your hands can actually turn out to be quite detrimental in your life. Anyway good luck! And I'm kind of sad this year is coming to an end :( and if any of you guys want to do another session in the writing center I'm all for it! Talk to you soon!
