Talk about a walk down memory lane! These past 5 weeks flew by and I’m really happy to have had the opportunity to spend it with you all. Reading my past blogs has made me realize how much I’ve grown with each analysis and comment. I enjoyed seeing my particular mood for each blog post. Some of these topics that were assigned, I was very eager and happy to write about, and some nights I just wanted to quickly hit the 300 word mark and move on. I’d have to say Allie Brosh’s Hyperbole and a Half was my favorite blog topic. I was introduced to a very comical blog that I have shared with family and friends thus far.
Writing to an audience and receiving feedback was great. I knew we were going to have an awesome class after reading the introductions. After commenting and receiving comments, blogging has made me realize that blogging doesn’t have to end because it’s like an open ended conversation that allows anyone and everyone to chime in when they please. At first, I was nervous about writing in front of a crowd and worried about how people would react to my thoughts and opinions. It’s amazing how many mistakes I have in my writing and will continue to have; I am by no means perfect. This class has immensely helped my writing due to my classmates and wonderful teacher’s constructive criticism.
I enjoyed Black Swan as well. Without these blog posts, I have to admit, I would have never watched this movie. Watching this move several times has helped me understand visual rhetoric and the different perspectives my peers had on this movie.
In conclusion, this class has been a wonderful experience and blogging has introduced a new positive light in my life. I look forward to reading more blogs in the future and maybe run into one of you once again, GL everyone and Peace!
