The Conclusion!!

           I am so happy that this is the last blog of the year! Looking  back on all of my blogs I don't feel to proud of all of them. I know I didn't do all of my blogs this year so some are missing from my list. I notice that I started to get lazy in the end of the year and I just wanted to get my blogs done so I could get point for them. In the beginning of the year I could see that I was a least trying to do a good Job and do my best. Then getting towards the end I notice that I would skip around and add thing in random place to fill in gaps so it would take up more room.

          This year the blog that I have liked the most was my Boo Radley blog. I know it wasn't the best blog but I like the way we have to think of  away to connect the novel to my own life and not make something up. Looking back on this on blog I have really learned even more than when I wrote the blog is "you can't judge a book by its cover." I think that this applys to not just my blog but all the work I have done this year. My work this year hasn't been the prettiest thing or the most organized but I think that in the long run I tried my hardest to do the best I can. I think that in many ways I have improved in my writer but I still need to work on it.

         In the blogs that we would have to make something up or evaluate someone I saw that it would be a really short blog. On some of  the blog assignment I like I could have taken more of my time to do them and not just spend 10 minutes on them. To this day I still feel like I jump around in my writing. I also know that I didn't do all of my blogs, I know there is no real reason why didn't them and no excuse.

Poetry

           I haven't had many experiences with poetry. Not more than the couple poem we have read in my other classes. Nursery rhymes are what I have had the most exposure to. To me nursery rhyme are more than what your parents tell you before bed, to me Nursery rhymes can make connections between parents and their children. I remember when my mom would always tell one nursery rhyme to me almost every day.

          The nursery rhyme is called You are My Sunshine. The reason that this really stuck out when I read this blog assignment was because of the memories that I have tied to it. Not many people know this nursery rhyme and I can see how some people might not see it as a nursery rhyme.

        For poetry in general I am not a big fan. For me poetry has to many answer to one question. There are many points of views on the same thing and all can be right, and that is the part that I really don't care for. I like to have a  right and a wrong answer not more than one correct answer. If I can understand the poem than  my view is a little different. If I can understand than I can sometimes relate so I can understand the poem even more. I think that I could learn to like poetry but I don't know about loving poetry.

Favorite assignment

          When I read the this assignment I really had to think about all of the projects, essays and all the other thing that we had done. I think the most memorable assignment is The Great Expectations essay. I think that is mostly because I still haven't turned it in. But this blog is suppose to be about an assignment that I am proud of. So the project that I am the most proud about is the last project we did. Which was the outside reading. I read The Color Purple.

         When I read the first page it made me become very interested in the book. I feel like I worked really hard on every part of this project. I don't know what score I got on the book talk but I feel like I got a good grade. Even if I don't get an A, like I hope, I know that I did my best and tried my hardest.
