I think that my best blog post was my Krista Ramsey blog post because I included a short summary of what the article was about and then I explained why I decided to read it and what I got out of it. I also examine the woman whom Krista Ramsey talks about, I give a short summary of her life and then I explain why Krista Ramsey probably wrote about her. Then I wrote a prediction of why I thought the woman ended up how she did and what she could do to change it. I also analyzed Krista Ramsey's purpose of writing the article in the first place, I thought it was something that a lot of people could relate to and that it would make some of the people like her feel better about themselves knowing that they're not alone. I referenced the Krista Ramsey article when I said, "when she put out a notice for a room for rent, with her phone number in tearable strips at the bottom of the page, there wasn't a single taker," I decided to use this quote because I felt like it was a strong sentence that makes you feel pity towards the woman and it makes you want to do something nice for her.
Next year I want to be more diverse in my reading choices because I read a lot of fiction, science fiction, and realistic fiction, I don't read that much Non-fiction, and I think that I should be reading more Non-fiction. I think that I'm going to set a goal for myself of at least 15 books read completely by the end of sophomore year, and eight of them have to be non-fiction. For my writing, I didn't do a lot of writing this year, but it wasn't because I didn't like it, its because I either didn't have time or just forgot about how much I love to write. I am currently typing a book that I have named The Rogue Soldier, but I rarely have time to work on it. My goal for writing next year is to get at least half way done with my book. As for improvement in my writing and in my reading, I think that for my reading I have to be more diverse with my genres and I have to stay with one book, because this year I would start one book, then I would drop it for a while, start reading another book, drop that one, and so on. With my writing, I guess that if I had to have something to improve, it would be my diction, right now I don't have very elevated diction, so sometimes my writing sounds sloppy. For my last sentence I would like to thank you Mrs. Noble for a great year and introducing me to the blogging world.
