Wrapping up

   Over the course of the year I have not posted the most amount of the blogs in the world, in fact I have posted maybe half of all the blogs that we have been supposed to post. This is mostly due to my own forgetfulness and laziness, I like to think that I have mostly corrected this failure to meet the standards as my parents rode me like a donkey until I did correct this and this is why I started only recently to complete all of my blogs. I have improved my writing skills by correcting the way my writing flows and how I express things as well as my grammar which was sub par before we started our blogging experience."This **** is off the chain!" A quote from Paul Cade, I think my quote relates directly to my blog by being a perfect way to describe my blog as being really cool. But in all seriousness I enjoyed my writing my blog and I believe when i did write the blog i brougt a sense of optimism and happiness to the table and i would love to continue having theses experiences throughtout my whole high school career.

Most memorable assignment

           Honestly I can't say I'm very proud with the quality work I have been doing this year but of all the assignments that I have been doing mediocre work for I think that my favorite is my analysis of the poem "Lobsters". Even though my essay did appear very smart allecky I meant no disrespect I just wanted to show how the poem has been over analyzed and there was nothing new for me to show about it. I just thought I was being mighty clever by talking about what I was talking about and I still think it wasn't a bad enough subject to deserve a rewrite but anyway I was and am very proud of my analysis of the poem "Lobsters".

Poetry Experience

          Poetry is not a specific type of English that I will be studying into during my life, but the best experience I have had with poetry is definitely my discovery of Shel Silverstein. His poetry may not save people's lives or change people into the essence of creativity, but damnit his poems deserve some awards of some sort. His poetry is silly and it makes me laugh which is all I need to call it literary excellence, i mean he wrote a poem about three men adventuring in a flying shoe, and he wrote a backwards poem, thats just plain cool.
          I'm not saying i specifically found him myself, someone showed him to me, but since that fateful day when my brother handed me Where the Sidewalk Ends, by: Shel Silverstein I haven't stopped reading Shel Silverstein. His poems lent to me a humor standard that I still like to be met in a poem, story, book, or even movie and that has altogether changed me into a happier individual and i am glad for it.
          Currently poetry is not my favorite form of writing, actually I am slightly repulsed by most poetry altogether, but occasionally I can enjoy a good piece of poetry, such as Acquainted With the Night by: Robert Frost, which is my favorite poem by Robert Frost mostly because I feel sympathy for the darker side of Frost shown inside this poem but maybe that is just what he was going for. Ironically i actually wrote poetry about how much i dislike poetry for a project for school, which will probably forever be my favorite piece of poetry.
