Blog Musings

My blog postings have been decent over the semester...except for the fact that I've already had to take a blog holiday and I didn't really contribute on the last one because I hadn't read the book yet =/ I found that I really focus on the more direct aspects of what we are talking about. I look at the language of what we read, rather than imagery or symbolism. I guess that surprises me a little because normally I am good at discussing that stuff, but it hasn't really caught my attention as we've been reading. See, look. Right now I'm discussing what I've said rather than trying to delve into some deeper meaning behind what I've said. I've also noticed that my posts are not particularly long...which is something I should maybe fix.

My favorite post was the one about the paintings, which also surprised me, because I am not a artsy person. I actually do not see the point in most forms of art, so it surprised me that I was able to invest so much in the paintings we looked at. I also feel like this is my most intelligent post; I was able to get my point across while using good language and being clear. I would love to go back and be able to talk about those more.

I think blogging for this class is helping immensely because it's giving me an insight into what other people are thinking that I might not necessarily hear from in class. It's also a place for me to talk about things outside of class that I maybe didn't get to talk about in class. I like hearing from everyone else, and it gives me a different perspective on what we read or watch or look at in class.
