Dear Reader,
My portfolio, called "Metamorphosis," is about change. Over the last year, there has been for me a lot of change.
I think my writing style has improves tremendously from last year. I have many more "tricks" up my sleeve. I have learned that voice, particularly my voice, is fun and interesting to include in my writing.
Over the past year, I have learned many formats for writing. In prior years, I would only use normal third person narrative. Now, I use many different styles, like first person. Furthermore, journal entries and plays are other styles I enjoy.
My favorite thing about English is that Ms. Jorisch gives us fun projects. In addition, when a project is assigned, she gives a wide rage of options, so none of our projects are remotely alike.
Another change I have gone through is my respect for English. I always thought it was a bad class, but now I have began to realize that I owe all my success to English, and especially to my English teachers. Without them I would never have the desire to write the pieces in my portfolio.
As you might know, I am very talented with computers. Computers are the gateway to the internet. The internet is everything, but the basis of the internet is mostly imagination and free speech, which is the foundation to writing. Because of this, I have also made a web site that is this exact portfolio, which can be found at http://go.to/rhportfolio. This portfolio is also downloadable; just visit the site for more information.
I hope you enjoy reading my portfolio.
Sincerely,
Ryan Hoffman
