A nice and crunchy conclusion wrap!

Well from the beginning of the year to the very end, even I can tell that I have picked up some wonderful skills. In the beginning I had no idea what to expect or what was expected of me so I dont think I really opened myself up to my work (blogs). This entire year my brain has been crammed full of knowledge! In Honors English I learned mainly about theme and motifs, but also literary elements, symbolism and foreplay. Throughout the two semesters that I have been writing these blogs, I have never really noticed a theme. But tonight as I was reading over some of my entries and I relized that I do have a theme. It is that in the beginning I had barely any commentary and in the end it was mainly all commentary! When I re-read my blog on Pip's life and how I related to him. I became aware of the fact that I was holding back much of the story, and the story that I wasn't holding back I had forgotten to tell the whole truth. Looking back I relize that what I lacked in my first few blogs was commentary and my own origional ideas. I did not go into depth when I said "Pip in a sence looked before he leaped,because when he saw Estella for the first time he looked and he leaped in many different steps to become a gentleman." even though there was so much I could have talked about! My next journal entrie however brought a little more interest to the table, it ended with a very intreguing question, "But why would Able M. be "afeerd" of getting "low" in front of Pip, who would have never been a gentleman if it hadn't been for him?" To me this is a good question because it uses some small quotes and asks a direct question to the reader. Even on my third blog I seem to be opening up, and sharing more of my ideas. Unfortunatly the next to blogs lack in creativity, I think that I was rushed for time and wrote down the first thing that poped into my head. I regret not delving into the never ending information that floods the internet for the blog with wich we had to find a something from this present day to represent Romeo and Juliet. I unfortunatly choose Taylor Swift, which is the biggest mistake I have ever made... on this blog! But I saw the light when Mrs. Gilman posted the dream/birth sign blog!! That was my favorite blog for the entire year, probably because it was about something other than a classic... mainly. The concept of a super natural force has always intregued me, that there are pre-destined fates, and magical planet/star alignments that will change your futuer! The more intreguing and self centered things are easier to write about for me, becaue then I can relate to those experiences and give better commentary and feedback. When I think about the near futuer (summer) I dont usually ponder about what books I want to read, but throughout the last week and the last blog (that I did) I have come up with many a good book to cuddle up with this summer! Added to the list that I previously started on my blog I now want to read all of John Green's books, The Life of Pie, Hunger Games, My Sisters Keeper, and Rats Saw God. To me reading isnt always that bad it depends on the book, I usually read more intence and meaningful books, that either break your heart or change your life forever, one of the profound but simple statements that Alaska Young says (in Looking For Alaska by John Green) "You smoke to enjoy it, I smoke to die." This blog has helped me see my improvments,shown me what I still need to work on, and how my future will be for the next seven years, I hope that next year we will contiue our blogs so that I can interpret the writing between the lines in anything that I read.
