Of all my blogs I think that my favorite was the one where we got to write in formal or informal diction. We got to be really creative, and it was fun to show our writing in a unique way. Over the course of this year my writing has improved a lot. I have gotten to be a better writer throughout this year, and my blog really showcases that. In a post from September I wrote “As we got older she began to talk more and express her opinions. My mom told me a few years ago, that when we were little we were playing some sort of imaginary game, as kids often do, I was explaining to my sister all these ideas, and things we could do, and she just said, "No, this is how it's going to be." And she told me. My little sister told me what to do. And I listened.” In that quotation, pay more attention to the quality of writing than the actual content. It shows that while my writing wasn’t bad, it was just simple. Now I have more creative ways to write, I write better.
I have written a lot about the books we have read, and analyzing those books. At the beginning of the year, there was a lot of To Kill A Mockingbird posts, and that led into my outside reading, Animal Farm into The Importance of Being Earnest, into Great Expectations, and so on. Anyone reading my blog would see that I am an avid English student and that I enjoy it. My blog really shows how I get into my work and enjoy what I’m working on. From viewing all the posts that I have written it reflects that I have been able to become a better writer during this year.
My best blogs are the ones where I compare a book to something in my life I know my life, and can compare those two things really well. I think in ways where I can understand deeper meaning of things better if I can put into perspective of my life. My writing in that area has always been pretty good, but it has gotten better over the year, and having the blog to be able to keep track of that through the blog is really special. I will be able to have it to remember what we did in Honors English this year, and how much I learned and grew as a writer.
