For my first choice I have picked the first paper we were asked to write for our English 97E class. It was written the week of January 4th. It was a sample writing piece that we were asked to write so that our Instructor, Phebe Shen, could get an idea of what we may or may not know.
It is a story that describes our family's annual Christmas get-together and what takes place during our White Elephant exchange. It gets quite interesting and competitive, especially when it comes to certain things like golf balls and alcohol. They would even go as far as try to convince someone that it isn't all that great of a gift. Like "It's not really that great" or "wouldn't you rather have what Tim has?" Or even better they would try to hide it out of site.
I entered this class feeling confident that I knew how to write a story with the punctuation correct and without fragmented sentences. but I was definitely wrong and over the last six weeks or so I have learned many new things when it comes to the proper way of writing a story. I have learned sentence structure, punctuation, using quotation marks and last but not least how to tell a story with sensory details.
I hope you enjoy this short journal as well as the other stories I have written in my e-portfolio. Thank you.
