//English 103 Final Portfolio by Zachary Burton Lee Rees// //**1. Cover Letter:**// https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TdXbqqek7BTNUxJlSPqdX8RsY2lQM9RoxheiRTAtD_k/edit?pli=1&hl=en_US

//**2. Memoir:**//

This example of writing I had the most fun in creating for this class. All the words seemed to flow fluidly from my brain straight unto the paper in a short amount of time. The main reason was that it was from my own personal experience an no one else's. That meant no need to do any research on the subject allowing myself to just write down my experiences as they happened. I also already had some experiences in writing in this particular genre beforehand thanks to high school english classes. This example I would consider the best thing I wrote in this class.

//**3. Public Letter:**//

In writing this particular piece of writing I was discussing something that impacted my life. Even though the impact was just that of one company splitting into two it still impacted my life in a negative way. This writing I had never done before so it was definitely a learning experience although the impact on my life and family I like to think helped me in writing this particular assignment. Writing this piece of work I thought was easier since I could keep a particular audience in mind throughout the entire creation process. Being a member of this audience was a big asset as well.


 * //4. Landscape Architecture One://** [[file:Achitecture 1.docx]]

This exercise was an assignment for my landscape architecture class that I was enrolled in this semester. The goal of the exercise was to situate a cabin on a site in the woods in a way that would cut down on the impact that building the cabin and the cabin itself would do to the surrounding land. There were many factors to take into place like the direction of the sun, an old forrest, the flood plain, and lastly the habitat of a protected animal. In being the architect for this project I was tasked with situating the cabin and justifying my reasons.


 * //5. Unfamiliar Genre://** [[file:Satire.docx]]

By far this project for this class was the most difficult to accomplish. Going into writing this example of a satire I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I had only read a smattering of examples of this genre before I chose to do my project on it. This satire required the most reading of examples in order to immerse myself in the genre in order to be able to write in it. This project did teach me that if you research a particular genre enough you can find yourself able to write in it pretty successfully after some hard work.
