I really enjoyed this article it opened my mind to a way of reading. Where I was reading this learning that it wasn’t that hard to really write proper. After reading this I took my last semester text book and read examples to my pages I have posted notes. I would see if other authors way were adaptable to me where I put in my writing. After reading that it made me realize if I want to write college levels example would help and adapting. At the same time I’m writing fine I believe.

Summary

In how to read like an author they begin talking about how the author was in a theater and reading word by word on this piece also how the author would want the readers to read it word by word. He mentions that while he was reading he recognize how he was bring a bridge from reading to connections to his writing. Then his idea talks about is to carefully examine the things you read, looking at the writerly technique and how it’s structured and how the authors write it and why. He talks about adapting and your reading to learn how the authors made the reason why he did to bring his sentence and pieces together. Saying also you built a prior knowledge on how other write so adaption to some level in college can help to the next level. Writing can be easy then and starting it can be easier like starting with a quote and stuff.

Commentary

What was the author trying to do in the island piece I have no clue what they were talking about I know it about an island and a monster trying to destroy the world? If I’m wrong please correct me because I have no clue what the authors was going for and the structure was to much work for a piece about and Island. Everytime I try reading the little brief what seems to be a quote if I’m not mistaken it would disappear before I got to read so I would refresh or even try looking for it to put it together.

My experience

I really enjoyed reading the first piece it made me look at reading interesting because I can now read as a reader. Even tho we have been doing it since ages now we can do it and take it on for better process. I really did enjoyed that reading like a written piece opened my mind I didn’t expect it to do to be honest I liked how he started with it. I also enjoyed the advise like he gave. The island piece I disliked it one, I really don’t know what to say about this article. All I have to say is it was confusing me and I would not like to read about it but I would like to know what it was about. So therefore I’m looking forward for my question being answered

As I was reading the article I was more questioning about how the blog would help outside of lack of motivation and inspiration. But as I kept reading the article kinda made me wanna try blogging as a personal gain for my writing skills. We discussed ideas similar to what Alex Reid was saying in his article. In outclassroom we are doing a blog and as I read this I saw between the lines really on what are the benefits from the blog. I think it’s a great idea but as for writing skills I think I’m An average person when it comes to it. I think the blog could help in someway I mean I wouldn’t know unless I really give it a try which I plan on doing hopefully. When we Disscused that wringing and communication would be a huge roll in your later occupation. So I’m thinking I might as well become a good writer now then later. I really didn’t have any more deep thought as I read through.

Sunmary: In this article the writer Alex Reid talks about blogs. At first he talks about the Golden 10,000 rule where if you put 10,000 hours into a skill or passion you will be an expert. Then definitions about different blogs. Once I noticed it was variety of definitions for different blog points I just key scrolling. He continues on to talk about how first year college students or college students really don’t wanna be a writer expert. so he suggests starting a blog so it can help improve your Writing Field when it comes to profession. People with poor writing skills or not interested in writing can try blogging about personal interesting but also answering the normal writing question who’s your audience…and so on.

Connection

I remember in sophomore yeah of high school we made a blog for our American lit. I don’t remember what it was called but we had to post on it 3 times a week. I thought it was stupid at the time but thinking back to it I would definitely take that then writing papers and such. I really didn’t learn anything from past class with wrong papers cause I would get a good grade or a decent if I don’t try but saw no improvement so now I’m giving this blog thing a go again. Reading that article gave me some will to start blogging more I guess.

The only reason i picked that copyright was it was there at first i didn’t even know what i was doing. All i had to do was read the details in the list it gave us. But i wasn’t even sure if i was doing it right but seems like i did it fine and i’m going to stick with this copy right. the moral of the story is that i picked it cause it was there no special treatment. i’m just trying tot get this blog set up so i can go home. My personal view of copy rights is yeah if you make a billion idea hold on to it but it inst benefiting you for income then it shouldn’t matter sharing ideas with others makes us know more in that field of topic. So what im saying is i wouldn’t really care if you guys stole my ideas just don’t do to much shaking my head.

This set up was extremely frustrating. I had to dig for multiple minute to do certain stuff off the blog checklist. Over all it was annoying but looking back that i finished was satisfying. But when i did find the places to look i did well of thinking of ideas for it to work. thinking back to the class engagement i think it made me think about the blog more than i thought i would. I also wanted to finish it on time which made me think of finishing but i needed help which was frustrating.
