last one

I learned a lot about myself as a reader and a blogger, I learned that reading a book that you actually like is very important because if you don't then you won't have anything to write about that made your really think about your book in general. It's important to stay with that certain book, because you can't keep on switching or else you won't have enough knowledge of the book to write about something. I learned that I mostly wrote about themes that were relatable to me, therfore I was more prone to read books very similar to our lives.

I benifitted a lot from this experience.One way I benefitted from this experience was that I learned how to keep track of what I am reading, and really get out what I was learning. Not to just skim through a book and say I'm done with it.It taught me how to absorb the book deeply. I feel that I was able to take books in with more understanding and a bigger purpose of reading the book in the first place. I learned a lot about what are traits that make a book what it is. I learned about the different elements of a book, that make each type of genre what it is. I just learned a lot about books in general, that I never knew before.

Writing online is way different than writing on a notebook in my opinion. I would have to say his because writing in a notebook, you don't have to be organized with your ideas, but when you write on the computer, your ideas have to be organized and clearly expressed in the way that you want to be. Also when you write online, punctuation is more important to understanding things, but when you write in your notebook the words just flow freely, without punctuation. Also people get distracted on the internet a lot easier than off the internet because they have sites like youtube and facebook.

Writing is liberating in the sense that it really shows what you're thinking in a more expressed form, then just keeping them in your mind. It is enjoying to write about parts of the book that were found to be very interesting. It makes you have the freedom to express your thoughts clearly and fully.

Overall blogging was really fun and interesting the whole year. A little bit too tedious to do every week, but I got a lot from it which matters the most. It's been a good experience doing this in Ms.Rear's class, and it's something to take away from 8th grade.
