1. The two other essays that I included in my portfolio are My Family Story and the Illustrative Essay. I chose "My Family Story" because in it, I learn how to use desription while I write my essay. I brought a past event to the present in a vivid way. Also, it was a funny story to share. The second one that I chose was the Illustrative Essay, this was my first essay where I used the essay form: introduction, body and conclusion. I had to be a clear purpose and a specif audience. In both essays I used the useful tool of description to show the story or stories. In the illustrative essay I wrote in an organized manner. I could relate the stories with the topic sentence, so I had good organizations on them.

2. Writing for an audience with a specific purpose made me improve my writing. For example, in the illustrative essay my purpose was to make parents be aware of the dangerous situations that could occur when children are unattended. The stories that I wrote like examples were related, however based on the purpose I change the way that I said the stories. So, I learned to manage my writing in order to get the purpose and the audience that I want to target.
