Welcome to my
English 250 ePortfolio
English is slowly emerging as a universal language. With more countries wanting to communicate with Europe and USA, English has established its importance. Being educated in India until high school, I was taught to write and communicate in English. As my first language, I have always learned English as a subject where we try to understand the meaning to various written texts and poetry. My English 250 class at Iowa State University has introduced me to a completely different side of the language and helped me realize the importance of summarizing and analyzing a written piece. Furthermore, we try to analyze the language in visuals such as advertisements and documentaries. This class has especially assisted me in realizing that not all written pieces may be straight forward. Analyzing them gives a deeper picture of the author's real intent of writing the article.
