"Writing is an exploration, you start from nothing and learn as you go"

My writing has improved tremendously and my passion for writing has grown and developed throughout my experience with writing in college. Below I have included two writing samples which demonstrate my writing skills. The first is an adaption paper comparing and contrasting Petrarch's Sonnet 90 and Shakespeare's Sonnet 130, which focuses on the influence Petrarch had on Shakespeare's sonnet. The second is paper written on the three part epic, Beowulf, and the transformation throughout the story of Beowulf from an Anglo- Saxon pagan hero to a Christian hero. These two works not only represent my abilities as a reader and writer, but also displays my abilities as an educator to facilitate the same literary analysis with my students that were needed in order to create these works. These works display my personal growth as a reader and writer because of the high levels of thinking and analysis that was needed in order to interpret and respond to these works.
