Class Blogs

I loved to see other blogs in the class that felt like a small community for young writers, collaborating and pushing off each other’s ideas. To write their own stories or feelings of a topic, seeing points of views crash, and then sync for other events. I enjoyed seeing other people’s perspectives on criteria we explored this trimester. It is pleasing to see how one idea, one topic can bring up so many different reactions and feelings, some hitting people personally, revealing disgust or frustration while in someone else’s eyes it may stand for something positive. Different points of view are key to keeping an audience, for everyone has different opinions and if you represent a wide variety of them, you will retain a large audience. I only was able to clearly read a few other posts while also skimming some blogs, and for the few I read, I saw that I was not the only one here who enjoys writing. Just through word choice and the thought put into post tells you a lot about the writer, and it was refreshing to read other well written posts. Though in this mix you see the people who put little to no effort in their writing and in the first line or so you are already lost. These are not a show for lack of ability nor do they represent a person with no opinion or feelings on a subject, it is simply a lack of effort. Sad to see, but an un avoidable and in a way I understand. When you’re trapped here for eight hours a day its starts to get to you and you hit a point in which effort is something you rarely feel the need to give. I’m starting to see I’m getting off topic, so I will just sum it up here. Overall the other blogs look very nice and show a living group of writers interacting and building off each other. For most part, well thought out posts and a refreshing breath of fresh air to dive into other heads and see their point of view on topics. Topics that I may have felt strongly in one direction on, only to see someone write just the opposite, or to see someone’s points of view to fall parallel with mine.
