As it is
stipulated in the “about me” section of this blog, it is for my general studies
literary class, named “Journey in Literature” with the amazing professor,
Cynthia Pittman. As can be seen, there are a total of 13 blog entries counting
this one as the final one. The title of the class is the justification for our
first entry, which is “Mon Voyage” a blog entry to give the reader a better
image of who is writing by establishing both an internal and external journey.
After that first blog entry we analyzed the books, movies and excerpts of the
literary works we discussed in class. Part of the blog activity was to not only
write the personal views on the topics discussed in class but maybe also read
those of the students that did not or could not participate in class, comment
and open the debate or conversation of the topics outside of the classroom.
Definitely my favorite part of
the whole semester was getting to know this portal, having a journal and the
combination of literature, perspective and personal journey writing. I am
actually going to continue to write my own personal blog though it will be a
lot less literature related and more like a cyber entry of a journal.
Sometimes, I feel, its not enough to write it down in pen and paper but also
the need to publish it and maybe be heard. The blogs for me helped me find my
own voice. When and if you go through my posts, I feel, the tone changed into a
satirical one but still one that is making a point. It’s as if I found a voice
between the blog and the journal as I was going through different struggles in
the semester while still learning and bettering myself.
Personal favorite blogs:

ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same thing! This was my favorite part of the semester also, not only because we learned a new tool but because I have noticed through all of our blog posts that with time, we have gotten alot better at writing and letting the words flow. That journal and this blog helped indeed!
The center of gravity of this post is "...I feel, its not enough to write it down in pen and paper but also the need to publish it and maybe be heard.", because a blog is a great tool to easily share your thoughts with others and to receive feedback. With a blog you are definitely being heard.
ReplyDeleteIts great that you will continue to write because it is a way for is to keep in touch. And what a better way to do it than to read your blogs. Since in a blog you out your thoughts into words, it makes the blog an insight to your trueself. It was the most interesting part of the semester too.
