Final Blog Reflection

I feel that many of my blog posts show my ability as a writer and reader, but there is one post that stands out from the others.  I feel that my best post this trimester was Thomas' Character    The reason I feel that this is the best post is becasue I really was able to dig deep and use my past knowledge to figure out traits about Thomas that were not directly stated in the text.  "After reading this Thomas realized he had let Newt down and he was mad that he had not done the one thing he friend wanted. This shows that Thomas is selfless because even after his friend had been taken away he had gone to look for him and he felt bad that he did not help his friend out."  I interpreted this about Thomas' character after he read a note from his friend to kill him.  I cited strong evidence about how I knew this by citing Newt's note to Thomas "Kill me. If you have ever been my friend, Kill me"(Dasher 196).  and also knowing that Newt was mad at Thomas but he did not know why.  Another good thing about this post was that it really had good flow and the information is presented in a good order.

This trimester I felt that I did a good job of reading every week and posting blogs every week.  In the future there are a few goals I have set for myself.  One of which is that I need to set a schedule or have a steady pace for reading.  This trimester towards the end I found that I did not read as much as I did in the beginning and found myself reading alot on one day.  Another goal I would like to have for next trimester is to finish more books which branches off of my first goal.  The reason for this is because I only had the chance to finish one book and barely start the other and I think I should blog about different types of texts and genres.  For writing I have set only one goal and that is to keep posting weekly and with good content.
