Blogging

I am not going to lie, when I first found out that we were required to write a blog for an Intro to Lit class, I was a little skeptical. It was an assignment unlike anything I had ever had to do and I did not quite understand its purpose. As time has gone on, the reasons for this blog have become very clear. It is not only an opportunity to reflect upon the assigned readings we have done, but it is an opportunity to make a little literature of our own. Although this blog is really insignificant (in relation to all the things going on in this world), it really excites me to write it. This blog allows me to share my feelings and thoughts; it makes me feel like I have a voice.

In class on friday, Professor Corrigan handed out a paper with three different blog posts on it. He gave the class time to read them over and then give both our opinions and what we thought his opinion would be about them. After reviewing some of my peers blogs and reading over the guide to blogging again, I now have a clearer idea of how to make my blog the best it can be. It was extremely helpful to read three completely different styles of writing. I saw what a really good blog looks like and I saw what a really bad blog looks like.

I do not want people to read my blog and think that that I only did it because it was a homework assignment; I want them to read it and know that I put thought, time and effort into it. I want people to sort of get to know me a little better through my writings. It will be exciting to see the progress of everyones blogs at the end of the semester.
