PORTFOLIO: MASTERWORKS PROJECT

“And your doubt can become a good quality if you train it. It must become knowing, it must become criticism. Ask it, whenever it wants to spoil something for you, why something is ugly, demand proofs from it, try it, and you will find it perhaps bewildered and embarrassed, perhaps also protesting. But don't give in, insist on arguments, and act in this way, attentive and persistent, every single time, and the day will come when, instead of being a destroyer, it will become one of your best workers--perhaps the most intelligent of all the ones that are building your life.”
? Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

Since we are rapidly approaching the end of our semester in English 2, I want you to submit a draft analyzing a work of literature of your choice from our textbook, from any of the readings thus far assigned in any genre, (poetry, essays and short stories). This submission will aid me to guide you to provide feedback for revision towards the required final assignment for this class, the literary analysis.

Electronic Submission Draft MasterWorks Project: 5-6 pages analyzing a poem, a short story or an essay of your choice from all the readings done thus far, including the upcoming short stories (that each group had been assigned to present on).
