Letter
Dear Ms. Justice,

In my portfolio, I choose the three writings that show how much I improved in my writing this semester in English II. I will also share my strengths and my weaknesses. I think that my writing is a little stronger, but I still have a lot of weaknesses I will still work on. But I hope to improve throughout English III and IV. My strengths now in writing are focus, organization, and use of vocabulary. In my This I Believe essay, it shows the improvement of my organization, and my vocabulary. I also tried my best to stay on topic, and focus on the topic and what I was writing. On my bullying essay, I also stayed on topic. I explained about the negative effects about that topic. All the writing and bell work helped me improve my writing but I still have some weaknesses. My weaknesses in my writing that I need to work on is, my punctuation. I end up messing up and end up putting the wrong thing in the wrong place. I get confused and get some of the punctuation mixed up. I guess its cause I don’t really know how they are used well. But later in time I hope that will become one of my strengths. In the rest of the portfolio you will see how I improved. Sincerely, Lauren Fogle

What Is Love. By: Lauren Fogle Love is something that you feel when you like someone. Sometimes you would usually get a weird feeling in your stomach, sorta like butterflys. If you liked someone you would show them how you feel about them. For example, if you were married to someone, You should love them and always stay faithful to that one person. Love is a very strong word, And shouldn’t get thrown around like it its nothing. A lot of people miss use “i love you” a lot. They either don’t know the real meaning of it, or they just fall for someone way too fast. You should only say you love someone if you actually mean it. Love can be very complicated sometimes. The only possible ways you could ruin a relationship is if you; Lie, cheat, or do anything to hurt the other person. The best day to show someone you love them is on valentines day, even though I don’t like valentines day that much. But your able to give each other gifts and candy, and just show how much you love them. Love can sometimes equal to happiness, But sometimes love can be abused. For example, Say you were in a relationship and the other person abuses you or hurts you, Thats what happens in a lot of relationships, and it leaves some people depressed, or makes them go insane. You should really be careful with who you start to talk to. Make sure you know them really well before or been with them a long time before you do something really serious. Never stay with someone if they cheated or are still cheating on you, Plus never take anyone back if they walked out on you to be with someone else, chances are it will happen again. Every moment with the person you love is special, make it worth wild. Dont let a little argument or anything tear your relationship apart. Always at least try to find someone you have a lot in common with. The more you have in common the better you can get along with each other. That makes a great relationship.

2. Night Chapter 4 Summary
Night Chapter 4 Summary In chapter 4 they were getting sorted to their sleeping places, they had a german leader and he loved children. One of the assistants tried to get him to give him is shoes for a “good unit” but he was smart and didnt give them up, but got them takin 3 days later. They all got examined to see if they were in good health. They checked their teeth not for health, but for gold. They finally went to work, and they had a jew for the head of the block, so they were lucky to be in a good unit. The boy was told to go to the denist after he ate, when he got their he told the denist that he didnt feel well and everytime he went he told him he still didnt feel good until he finally got arrested. One dude tried to take his gold crown but he didnt give It to him. The boy ended up seeing Idek laying with a girl, idek saw him and the boy later got called up and got whipped twenty five times. Sometime around ten o clock one day sirens went off and they ended up getting bombed by the americans. That lasted for about an hour. During that there was someone who came in one of the units and started to eat the soup they had in two pots. Im guessing the dude died later. But then there was a bomb in the middle of the camo and they had to move it before it blew up. One day the eletric power station got blown up and they soon found out it was the dutch oberkapo who did it. They were soon arrested. They soon hung them, and they died

3. Bullying Essay
Bullying By: Lauren Fogle What I think about this article, is that bullying has been going on for a long time. I think its wrong to judge someone on how they act and on how they look. Some kids take bullying really seriously and some bullying leads to suicide. I thnk that bullying should be against the law in every state, and that adults should not ignore it and do something about it when it happens. What happened to jamey was horrible. I think the adults should of paid more attention to what was going on instead of ignoring it. Its sad to see a person at a young age taking their life cause of what other people say or do to them. You never know how bad you can hurt a person by bullying them. They could already have problems of their own and with people making it worse, it just makes the person More depressed every single day. I think that parents need to watch what their kids are doing and saying on websites like facebook. I think facebook is the one site where most of kids get bullied.

4. Drunk Driving Essay
Drunk Driving By: Lauren Fogle There are many effects that make an impact on drunk driving. The biggest effect about drunk driving is death. In 2001, there were 17,448 drunken driving deaths. In terms of death per capita, the deaths that happened in 2001 were about 1 percent increase over the deaths that happened in 1999. There are a lot of people who choose to drive while their intoxicated. I think if people know that they are going to get drunk when the go to a bar or a club, they should atleast have someone who will be able to drive them home safely, instead of getting behind the wheel themselves. If less people drove while intoxicated there would be less deaths, and I think the roads would be more safe, If people who get drunk have other people to drive them home, the roads would more likely be safe to drive on. Death rates for drunk driving would also decrease, and less people would get injured. Another effect on drunk driving is accidents. An alcohol-related car accident can bring many negative consequences into your life. Some of the negative consequences that drinking and driving can make an impact on is that your life and you could KILL the other people in the car that you hit or more important you can kill your family members or your friends that are in the car with you. Majority of accidents in the world are caused by drunk driving. A lot of people think a lot of accidents are caused more by other things, but I think most of the accidents that happen in the world are caused by drunk driving. Drunk driving is the highest issue that needs to be taken care of. The last effect on drunk driving is, losing your license. If you ever get caught drunk driving you could either lose your license or it could get suspended. The first time you get caught driving drunk, you can end up getting your license taken away for a long period of time. The second time you get caught driving drunk, you can have your license taken away for an even longer period of time or it could be taken away for good and can never get it back. Death, accidents, and losing your license are the most important effects of drunk driving. Ask yourself, “Why should people care?” People should care because, it makes the roads safer and more importantly it can save your life and everyone elses. For future references, remind people about drunk driving and and keep yourself and the ones you love safe.
