Dear 10th grade English Teacher, I, Kelly Kwong will be a tenth grader next year and I look forward to learning new techniques and better ways to write essays and papers in English class. For ninth grade English, I took honors and I thought it was a balance like a triple beam. Assignments from time-to-time was either hard or easy. I did complain about the work but getting more work makes me determined for next year because I know what is expected of myself and how much I should be doing. Am I and was I the biggest fan of English class? Certainly not. I never really like english class except for reading novels or play like Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare.

The one I choose to be in my portfolio is my ‘Analysis on Atticus’s closing statement’ from the novel To Kill A Mockingbird. For this essay I thought it was quite tedious. The general idea of the main topic is in the essay but I feel like I should have wrote the paper in a more interesting, attention grabbing way. Yes, I know these type of papers from novels are uninteresting but I feel mine is extra plain. Almost like pizza without any sauce; that would be unappetizing. I need to explain the details more than saying one sentence after it, ‘He is condemning the age old strict social code that creates haunting guilt in a person who breaks the law making him or her break personal guilt. Atticus hopes to change the jury's ways, trying to convince them of doing the right thing and condemning that black lives matter, to overlook Toms color and consider Bob hitting Mayella.’ As a
