End of the show.

During the course of this year (2010-2011) I have used this space for the thoughts on poetry, books, or short stories, that we have analyzed or read over in class. Although we had strict topics to write off of, we were able to make this place a piece of ourselves. In my blog, I often used my tittles as an expression of my creativity and remark towards my personality. Not following the guidelines of a "boring" heading but inching to the boundary line, and about to step over. In my writing towards the beginning of the year, there were many references to the writing as a source straight out of the context of the theme or topic suppose to be written about. But towards the end when I felt that the subjects began to become more interesting, I was more flexible and related more daily things to my writing. Although we were not able to create very many of our own original poems in English, the blog that I wrote about my favorite class time, was about the creation of original poems based on Robert Frosts. Even though we were not able to intervene with that creation, the poetry weeks were the funnest for the creative and exciting part. I wished that we could have more lovable books to talk about and/or reflections to recite but the greatest part of the whole blog itself can still be individual creation. I had fun with this weekly assignment although I often had trouble with the theme I was suppose to write about, but eventually figured it out and began writing away. Maybe not always on time, but I always got it done. I love having a place to display my thoughts about specific genres of books we are presenting in class, and or poetry we are analyzing to see the different feedback of other students as well. If only we could have posted original works of art and have them critiqued. But maybe next time! I see many of my mistaken questions that I had used for the inferential and or literal questions and then remember the in class discussion later that week, where all of those silly questions were answered. And how none meaningful they really were, only because they were right there in the text. But also, these unfortunate questions were asked towards the beginning of school and not the end. Mrs. Gilman taught our class the right kind of questions to ask, and how to de-sifer any hidden message of the line or text we are reading. Also I believe that there were more questions about the reads that we were doing back in the beginning of the year. "The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources." -Albert Einstein I beleive that this quote represents a good overall summary of every published writer, poet or singer. And even non public pieces from artists of the literature. The messages some writers can inflict withing the simple words of a sentence, can really be an art in its self. And that I believe is the exception to anyones curiosity to not understanding the hidden theme or extended metaphor of the book or piece of writing. The fact that we did not write it, there for we are not going to think that "..thy quivering thigh.." really is reduced to her ***********; for the sake of not catching the humor or real thought that was in the writers plan or head when writing the stanza, line or sentence to structure to the book, poem or play.
I will miss this place of random spits and sputters coming from a girl that appreciates creativity and writing.

Farewell, and goodnight.
