Authors Note for Final Draft and Portfolio

AUTHORS NOTE
1. Final draft and a complete portfolio.

2. As I completed my final draft I was pretty pleased as to how it finished. I am now happy with the new transitions I have included in my draft and the analysis I have added (especially to the section covering House Hunters International). I also worked on the section of LUXE in which I explained in more depth on Jaccarino's situations which helped the paper pull together in the end.  I spent many hours on this final draft depicting each sentence to make sure the word flow made sense and that the correct grammar was used. On the downside, I am a bit hesitant about this final draft because I am unsure if it is as strong as my public space analysis draft. Of course, I could be feeling this way due to the fact that I had a lot more fun creating the last paper.
  I love the way my portfolio came together. First off, I am a very organized person and have to have structure in everything I do, including my completed portfolio.  I have printed out all of my assignments but I am worried about the category including a check of toulmin charts and rhetorical analysis charts. I was not present the day in class that you checked these but I did meet with you the very next day and had them (plus I went and bought a computer to complete them). 

3. I feel that my portfolio as a whole and my final draft are complete. This paper was not the easiest for me, especially in the beginning of having to choose a topic, but I feel like after hours of research and after actually putting my paper together I was successful. I had a very hard time trying to structure out my draft but with a quick meeting with you (Ms. April) a light switch turned on and that is when my ideas started flowing. Hopefully, I have followed the guidelines on both the final draft and portfolio and I hope you enjoy reading my work!
