Final Response

In response to my blogging experience, I feel that all in all I really didn’t have strong feelings about it one way or the other. I liked the way it allowed me to centralize all my writings and have them easily accessible, much like a portfolio would. On the other hand, I didn’t like the way that all my works were made so public and easy to access for other people. I prefer that my writings are only viewed by people I choose and though I tried to not let the public nature of the blog have an effect on the way I wrote, I can’t help but wonder if I could have written better had I only been writing for a professor’s eyes. If I could choose one essay to revise it would be my event essay on the explosion of the star halfway across the galaxy. I would choose to revise this particular essay not because of the quality of the writing but the way I formatted my topic and following paragraphs. In retrospect, I probably should have taken more time to research the event and find a way to relate its significance to people’s everyday lives. A celestial event often doesn’t have much impact on people’s daily routine (unless you’re one of those morons who reads your horoscope everyday) but I feel that with a little more research and time spent, a perhaps deeper and more philosophical connection could have been made. In conclusion, while I didn’t really mind blogging, it is something I won’t be pursuing past this class and I feel that my event essay could have stood for some more effort put into it.
