This is my second period English fina...


This is my second period English final. The topic was to pick and choose three of these ten different question that were supplied to us. I was listening to Mr. Sutherland about his feelings on which questions would be to choose in order to write the demanded length for this assignment. Instead of doing this final similar to my first semesters one, i am going to write for quality rather than quantity. i know i have said this in my reasent "reviews", but this time i am writing this for my self rather than for a grade. i am going to look back on this blog next year and really use this to my advantage while i am writing english, history, spanish, and etc. papers.


i have decided to choose question number two to analyse first because i feel it will be the easiest to open with. i feel its the best for the fact that it can best also because it will help me if i fall in to writers block cause this tp[ic is very open and will help me very much... Where do you get your ideas for blog post topics? What inspires you to write? well i get my best inspiration mainly from school. like from my different classes, friends in that i spend the most time with, and sometimes even about football and practice.

So, when i write about my classes it doesnt really tend to be happy but it is my best writings specific to school, for reasons that i am not really sure of. but if i had to guess or assume what was the cause of this weirdness, i would have to guess that it is because i do not like the majority of my classes. and the reason for the best writing id probably based on that i am well "educated" on the subject. as in educated, i mean like i know about it the best compared to any other subject basically because it is my life. so from this topic i can really understand that personally, the better i know the topic i am talking about, the better my writing will be.

The next thing that i am going to try to analyze about the inspiration of my writing is friends. i have never really writen on my blog about people that i hang out with, such as friends. But little works that i have done, on my own while i am at home working on becoming a better writer, are mainly topically based on my friends. i think i am more inclined to writing about my friends is because i am the most comfortable in this topic and that i really like talking about them and the joy i get from them. like my friends frank, ian the mclens, and my girl friend and how i have really funny conversations with them and how i laugh a whole bunch while i am in there presents. from this topic, i have learned i need to like the subject of my writing and that i need to be comfortable talking about it.

Now on to futbol americano! my favorite subject off all to write about. i think i like this one so much is because i am very proud about the moderate "skill"level i posses in this sport. i guess it is bragging with out any body really to really judge me for doing it. it is one of the few things i think i am really proud about so i think i like to express my love to the game and the satisfaction i get from playing with my friends on the football feild and the comradory that i am building with them that i will always have. and here is a link to my blog about a football game of me bragging... here it is. And this also.

And about my family. The most inspiration of all! i think it is the most inspirational because i just down right love them so much. they are my honestly my best friends so i kind of tend to get competitive with them... Encinal game. i think this explains my competitiveness quit well.



The second question that i have chosen is question number four. this is it, How do the things you read influence what you write about or how you write it? i am not all that quit sure but i have really noticed i some what mimick the style and "mood" and genre of writing that is being portrayed in front of me. i do not really know if this, i do not know how to fraze this, trait helps my writing per say but it helps me get throught an assignment. like the book reviews and even in one of my blog posts about the Iraqy War. some of my friends did not believe i wrote it because of the words i used in that weekly blog post.

about the monthly reviews, i have found my self, all three times writing in the way that the authors of each book wrote. it is almost like a trans.. Old book review. this book review was on a book that was the appitamy of a chick book. but i honestly really liked it. it was very well put together. but anyways, the book was writen by new york times best seller, Nicholas Sparks. he is a very very good writer. and i really loved his writing. he inspired me to write with a lot more detail, and a whole much more abundance of sensory words that i have learned really enhance your writing. well i guess it depends on the topic that you are writing about.

The way i am affected by the book, "nickeled and dimed" was that my writing was boring. its kind of weird to say but i really think it is true that it got significantly boring... here is the blog. as you can see, if you clicked the appropriate link, i kind of just rambled. like it was to the point that i was not able to finish reading that blog entry. but on the other hand, this "trait" really does help me. all i need to do is just learn how to filter and basically use appropriate writing styles to mimic. in order to use this trait to my advantage i need to practice over the summer. when i look back on to this "blog review" i want to be able to say i have learned. durring the summer break i am going to read different works by different authors of different genres and select the few styles i want to go farther in depth with..
