My Blog Reflection

My blog post ( http://nazsreadingblog.blogspot.com/2014/01/evermore-why-you-should-read-it.html) is my best and favorite post because in it I exemplified my ability to analyze complex characters and I've analyzed the development of the theme. I worked hard on it and tried to use the rubrics for it. In my post, I talked about several different aspects of the book which is important to do because you need to keep the reader interested. My teacher, Mrs. Noble, has given me great tips and advice for my blog posts and I have best demonstrated it in that post. I also have added pictures and have had more then 2 paragraphs of text which is pretty important to do. I have described the plot so that people know what it's about but at the same time I didn't give a lot away to spoil it for the reader.

My goals for next trimester are to make sure to understand the text that I am reading because sometimes you can glance through the pages without really understanding and reading the book. My goals for writing are to use all of the tools of writing( imagery, similes, metaphors, personification, etc.) and also to really think about what I will write and what I will talk about. It's important to also read and comprehend the book from the p.o.v of the author, the characters, and of course the reader. I've struggled a lot with keeping up with my reading and posts every week because being in high school is very time consuming but at the same time you need to manage your time wisely. I've overcome this struggle by making time for each class and making sure I get everything done and also I've made school my number one priority. One strength that I had while blogging was that I can write and explain my view and feelings about a subject or a book and make my posts look interesting to want to read. (I've done choice 1 & 2)
