Reflective Essay (without many links since google reader is down in our school)

One of the first assignments that were giving to us in the beginning of English class was to be able to create a blog and write two posts weekly. Writing a blog is Incorporated further than school. Within the writing that we post, we reflect on someone else’s information, major news. not only are we exercising our writing capacity but we are also informing ourselves with knowledge.  Getting used to writing on a regular basis is not difficult a thing. we started with two post per week: one for whatever we please and one to respond to another post. Many people were originally not accustomed to constantly write as much as on a regular basis. Mr. Sutherland set up many goals for us in the beginning of the class. i believe that one of the goals was not only blog, which have been doing on a regular basis, but the point to regularly blog without having an assignment due.
As I student in middle school, I was never accustomed to writing regularly, but by the assignments that are asked of us I have gotten more comfortable and have improved slightly within my writing. The quick writes are small ways that helped me understand to try to cut back and focus more writing since we have a subject and we have to write for ten minutes without stopping. I have learned to try to structure my writing in ways that are simple but make very important changes in the writing, to give the reader a clearer perspective. i learned that when i write.
In reviewing the posts on the blog that I have done I noticed that many of the subjects that my writing did not related to situations in the moment. From the past posts that i have made i usually wrote about things that weren't so interesting. since i noticed that i was not as interested in the things that i was writing about i understood the changes that i needed to make. to make the changes and better my writing i began to look at other peoples post and make a similar post to that. there was a slight change in interest and seemed to change. for example, i noticed that there were many post between Karen Chavez and Rohksor Yusufi about jersey shore and people attempting to be “jersey”.

“she’s too dramatic and emotional and claimed that most females are fake that’s why she doesn’t have a girl best friend. I dislike her because she forgave Ronnie and started hating on Jwow.” (a quote from Karen’s blog.)

Within this quote from Karen's blog i can understand the feelings that derive from her and she is blogging. not only is she explaining and stating facts within her knowledge but, she is explaining her thoughts with much emotion. she includes words and signal of her taking interest into her blog entry. It is apparent that she takes much interest into her posts and it goes further than just another assignment to the class.

           In reading and responding the posts from other people, I came up that many people wrote about person feelings and thoughts about things that really touched them. those people were using the blog as more than just an other assignment. the feelings they expressed made it a  Those are my favorite types of posts. I like to read and get informed about how a person strongly feels about something that they notice. other peoples post have helped me grow immensely. knowledge and experiences could be some of the greatest gifts to a person. Google reader is a miracle joining all posts. there have been so many times that i have come across someone Else's post that is so interesting and compelling. some of the posts included Elton. he began telling the story of his life and expressing his feelings. In one of his posts he explained about a relationship he stood in. in addition to the relationship post he included his feelings about the sudden death of our dearly beloved physical movement teacher. With that post i was able to feel the support and know how other felt about the horrible situation the school faced. Mr Sutherland was another person that commented about the situation and how he felt. this would not have been possible without the power of the blogs!The posts i related to gave me an better approach to the topic and encouraged me to post about it .
One of the major steps in the process of writing is revision. Revisions to a add and help the paper to better rewrite misleading parts to the reader. In other words, is polishing, polishing makes the essay and writing better, bumping it to another level. Bumping it to the next level.  Throughout the year when creating my posts on the blog I did not reread what and check for any mistakes and confusing sentences. one of my major mistakes included redundancy and clutter. i have improved on that and now have to begin to focus on writing without repeating myself.

Now a days many teens are having problems because of the society that they are living in. many things in a persons environment need to be changed and cause many problems for the people that live in them. For teens many problems get in their way and one of the only approach is to end the problem that they are having. And the way that people do that is by ending their lives. A community should have more resources for the teens in their.

Writing is one of the many things that can never be perfected, and understood by everyone. As a student writing is to get adjusted to and do it on a daily basis. A goal that i have ti improve my writing would be giving the reader straightforward, clutter less information. the main ideas need to be clear. By taking away unnecessary details it will lead to a better understanding of my writing.                  riting.

The book seems very interesting and something out of the usual. The book gives off a vibe that may drag your attention away and keep it! The book may show and relate to things that people face in daily lives. It is apparent that there is excitement and much drama. Can you relate to your book in any ways?you explain certain characteristics between the two sister. But soon you will need to get more specific which i bet it ont be any problem at all. Anyways, it seems very interesting.

the book seems interesting and familiar to you since you read some of the other books. since it is a sequel and has other books that relate to it explain more about that.The book gives off a vibe that may drag your attention in comparison to the other books similar to it.  The book may show and relate to things that people face in daily lives. It is apparent that there is excitement and things that interest you.you should expand more on your commentary. write more about what you get out of the book. i feel as if you are just explaining facts rather than more of how the information affects you. Make it personal.

the book seems so different but interesting. wizards! ...now that is something that catches peoples attention. i really like how you get into explaining one of the characters thoroughly. not only do you explain who the person is in the story, but you go further in. you basically indirectly explain problems that the character faces about being a women thats a wizard, though i am a bit confused. since she has powers and is a woman isn't she automatically a witch? i also believe that the review would become a stronger if you were to elaborate on the second question a bit more.
