Blog Reflection

Throughout the whole trimester is think the best blog post I did was the How Long can they Last post - http://ericgilenesreadingblog.blogspot.com/2013/12/how-long-can-they-last.html. In this post I think I did a very good job of analizing the text and making connections. I made a connection when saying "The first thing this made me think of was the Simpson's movie when the government put a dome over their town because of pollution." I also didnt just summarize the text instead I gave a breif overview then talked about what this would be like in real life and how the town would have to handle this to survive. I then ended by giving my opinion on the dome "The dome was going to be an ultimate test of how well the citizens of Chester's Mill could work together and for how long they could do it."

Next Trimester my goals for reading will be to get on a normal reading scheldule instead of reading a lot at a time. I would also like to improve upon my creative writing and using figuritve language in my writing. I am already pretty good at non-fictional writing and writing reports and research papers, its also really easy for me to write about history so I am taking APush next year and honors english so I can improve even more in my writing skills and analization skills. Overall I think I did a good job with the writing I did but I needed to be way more consistant.
