The Finale

The final blog, where it all will end. I find that the blogs I write didn't really have a meaning at first, just wanted to get it done, but then I figured that if I kept doing just that, well, my grade wouldn't be great, I should put some effort or feeling into what I do. That is why this last blog will have as much effort as I should have put into it. That is what I feel should have been done with all my blogs, each of the blogs should have had effort put into them, straight from the beginning. My blogs mean this to me, that I should have worked harder than I did, and for that I will work hard on this final blog, as hard as I can. The blogs of the past signify my ignorance and how much of a slacker I truly am, but I should not be that way, that can just bring about unhappiness. I truly can't believe at how much I procrastinated this year, but since I can't go back on it I shall go forward. I also can't believe that the year went as fast as it did, it felt as if it kind of just flew by. I can tell though, even if I procrastinated and slacked off, some of the writing techniques from the year stuck, I don't just carelessly write stuff down anymore, I think about my words. My word choices from now on shall be better then they were before, I will think about the most sophisticated and intricate way to use words that I can. Plus my analyzation skills have increased, I can now see the deeper meanings in things clearer, I believe I can just skip the paraphrasing, but just to make sure I will keep doing that. It's like one of the universal truths, "work harder and you will be rewarded," even if that may not be a universal truth. Maybe it's just like the, "never give up at something if its hard, just try harder," or maybe the, "hard work pays off," maybe not... But what I'm saying is that, if I work harder than just slacking off, I should be able to achieve my dreams! Or that's what people want me to think, but what I'm really saying is that even if you don't feel like working hard, just try hard anyways, it may pay off in the long run, don't take the easy road. That is what all of my blogs from this year have told me, when I read them they just seemed so pitiful, it brought tears to my eyes. It was like my blogs were crying out to me, calling for help for a better writer, a writer not like me. It was as if I was not good enough to write, even as an assignment, I felt ashamed to have even written something like that. That is why from this point on I will work harder at blogs! And maybe some other stuff too... But mostly blogs.

Memorable Assignment

My most memorable english assignment would have to be, The Importance of Being Earnest essay. I wouldn't say that I was proud of the assignment though, nothing really stands out if I try to think about something I was proud about doing. But I can remember that it was the one that I enjoyed writing about the most, with all of their jokes. But I would say runner up would have to be Romeo & Juliet if I had the same prompt, but I didn't.

The Importance of Being Earnest essay was a essay I really enjoyed writing about because you could think about all of their jokes while doing it. Thinking back on it makes me smile sometimes, if I remember the right part. It is as if you can picture Algernon and Cecily having fun, then Jack showing up, or the other way around with Gwendolen and Jack. Also how the ending is such a happy ending, even though it shouldn't have been so abrupt, the ending was happy, but too many coincidences.

Poetry

When I think of poetry, I think of it as a sort of... mellow way of showing people what you think a lesson in life is about. But of course it can be shown in all sorts of ways. One of my poetry experiences that has been good, would have to be one that was kind of comical. It has shown me a new way of showing humor, it was pretty interesting actually. I can't recall it too well but it let me get a view on, what ever it was, since I can't remember, but it helped my life at the time, I think I was around the age of 5.
