Out of all my papers, I definitely think my research paper is going to be the best. I have started diligently revising it, and I have a good foundation from the rough draft to work with. The reason I think this is my best is because I have eight pages to show what I have learned throughout the semester. I have the ability to integrate all of my skills into a paper that Im excited and interested to write. All of my other papers were somewhat rushed and over a topic I didnt enjoy, making them less meaningful to me personally and overall bland. However, for the portfolio I am going to obviously make them more interesting and have fun with them. Regarding my knowledge and interest in nutrition, The Jungle (my topic) is going to be a very fun paper to write, and I hope it turns out just that way for the reader as well.
Considering the paper that needs the most work, I have to go with my personal analysis essay. I chose Arnold Schwarzenegger and a weird parallel between our lives that was hard to go with, but it ended up working out in the end. Really tying my reader into this essay and giving them a reason to read it is going to be what I need to hammer out most, but Im willing to take the time to do so. This paper showed my weaknesses specifically in explication and demonstrating analysis of my thoughts. In order to make this paper good, Im going to have to revise and make it "personal" and maybe find some good quotes from Arnold himself. Once I integrate these quotes, I will be able to analyze the similarities we have and share that with the reader.

Nice way to put it how the research paper is basically putting everything you have learned into one final piece. For me, as you said, the other papers did feel rather rushed. But with this final paper, we all have the time to do quality work. Putting your own spin/twist on your papers will surely do wonders, because with your papers, you do have some interestng discussions and concepts. For the personal analysis essay, I could see some of the comparisons between you and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Just take one concept, and relate it to your overall life. Also, as I told Graham, try picking one distinct moment in your life the emphasizes the relationship between you and Arnold. I know you'll have a great portfolio. Best wishes, and do your best man.
