Reflection

So here we are arriving at the end. I must say that I am sad to see the end of this blog and this English class. I enjoyed researching and sharing my ideas and life with people. This blog definitely led to many discoveries. I learn more about myself and other people. When I presented the information in this blog to different people, they had different reactions. It was a educational lesson.

I preferred this researched blog to a typical research paper. It was easier for me to do for a variety of reasons. One, while I had a specific amount to do each week, there was still no underlying pressure to make sure one big project was handed in on time. Two, it was easier to express what I was trying to say in short blogs than it would have been in one large paper.

I learned a lot from doing blog posts. I learned how to post my blogs. I also learned how to look for images on a database and how to insert pictures on my blog posts.

The visual rhetorical was very educational. While I typically look at a picture and understand the message, this assignment inspired me to think about the picture. I had to actually think about what message the picture was sending, who was sending it, and to what audience it was focused. Once I did this, I had to put it into words. It actually came to me quite easily.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this class, this blog, and everything we did in it. I believed I learned a great deal. Writing is an art and a skill, whether it is writing a long research paper or a short blog post. As there are many different types of painting in art such as abstract or watercolor, there are different types of writing in art.
