Introduction: Writers Choice

This second essay is pretty special to me. I spent a lot of time participating in the paper talk discussions, creating a detailed outline, forming my ideas, writing the essay, and correcting to perfection. Unfortunately the Professors were not as impressed with this essay as I had expected; it actually received the lowest grade of my three essays. That was really my own fault for going past the prompt of “argue for a specific function of communities” and describing the effects of the community function that I had decided on. Even if I did go past the prompt, it is the piece of writing I’m most proud of this quarter, and that makes it perfect for the writer’s choice category of this portfolio.
