Reflection

           From rereading my blog posts I see that I usually have broader themes (such as current political issues) because I think that allows for a more open interpretation on the subjects; since people have very different political views. If I had blogged using narrower themes it might limit the different types of opinions that could be voiced, which would limit the depth and variety of a discussion based on that theme. My blogs usually set one idea against another and then I compare and contrast them. I'm surprised with my posts because they seem to have the common thread of either sarcasm or pessimism. I hadn't thought I was that the posts were all so critical before, which I think is very interesting. I also think that I should elaborate more on the topic as a whole and especially on the evidence because I know that in writing in general that is what I have the most trouble with. Not only that but it would help the reader understand what point or topic I am trying to get across. The blog post Obama vs. McCain all over again really demonstrates this because looking back at it it seems to be one of those blogs where there really can only have a yes or no answer.

       Over the weeks, I've noticed that my blogs don't seem to be incorporating the reader as much. This might be because I'm not very keen on blogging and am not really sure how this is helping me as a writer; I don't generally share my personal writing with anyone and because of that blogging is hard for me. And what makes this (blogging) even harder is that to connect these topics back to class if what we are learning doesn't really include many of the topics that I would blog about.
