Religious Essay comparing two religions
Humanities hero Essay
Poem
Creative Writing Story
Reflection
For
my E-portfolio I decided to use my humanities essay about why Odysseus
was a hero or why he wasn’t. I also used my allusion poem from writing
.The third item I might choose is another humanities essay comparing two
books about religion. I also chose an extra piece of work.It is one of
the last pieces of works I have to do for 9th grade.It is my creative
writing story from my character’s point of view.I chose these things
because I did well on them but I could still improve it.I did bad on the
essay on religion. I need to work on making a stronger thesis and
proving it in my essay. These are some of the best works I have done all
year (that I remember).I liked doing them in some ways, especially
since a job well done rewards itself. These pieces of work show some of
my skills and abilities and tell readers some things about me. That is
why I chose these things.My goals by doing this is also to help remind
myself what I need to work on.
The
humanities essay was an argument of why Odysseus was or was not a hero
based on the book “The Odyssey “.I believed Odysseus was not a hero
while many others disagreed with me ( the ones that said Odysseus was a
hero).I argued very hard that he wasn’t a hero because that is what I
believed and to prove it I started writing and writing.I wrote a lot and
put a lot of effort in it since so many disagreed and that was what I
wanted to convince them of.All the work and time I put into it helped me
get a good grade and bring up my average.
My
allusion poem in writing is made up from my imagination and from the
book “The Odyssey”.I started it off explaing the situation the main
character was in.In my opinion it’s okay but needs a lot of work.I don’t
really like people to read my pieces of work but to improve I need to
hear their comments and if I didn’t , I would get a zero and it would
make my grade in writing drop quite low.I got a good grade on it and I’m
proud of it for that.What i don’t like is how it sounds or the
layout.If I ever had to redo it I would most likely change the entire
plot along with the god I would write about.
For
me a thesis is hard to write and prove in an essay.In the essay
comparing the religions in the two books “The Girl with the Tangerine
Scarf” and “My Name is Asher Lev”.It was a good essay in some
perspective and ways but it still needs a lot of work.The first outcome
was fine but the one I chose was on the thesis.For some reason I put in
long quotes and wrote a lot so in some ways I forgot to prove my thesis
and work on my introduction and conclusion.This essay helped show me I
did not know my strengths and that I didn’t pay attention to everything I
wrote or what I had to do so I forgot things.Some were really obvios
like proving my thesis so I added this piece of work in to show what I
have to fix and improve upon.
The
last piece of work I chose was my creative writing story I wrote that
went along the same plot as my partner.It is one of the last pieces of
work I have made for 9th grade.I worked very hard on it and it better be
worth it.I typed for hours and wrote for hours in order to complete all
22 pages of my story.It is an okay story that needs lots of work and
the plot needs to be fixed up some more.I think it is creative in some
ways but in others it is not.The deaths and the ideas I used for the
story could be much better and creative but it is still a good story.
