1.2. Best Essay

Selection and Assessment: Which of those six assigned essays do you feel is the best that you've written this semester, and why? Remember that a complete answer is better than a short answer, focus on your writing, and give at least two reasons to support your assessment.

• Website Review: The Hard Life Of Chocolate
  

  The reason why I feel it's the best essay is that I wrote so much information about chocolates and the process form cacao to perfect chocolates on it. Also I put a lot of photos on it.
