4th Quarter Reflection

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S ALMOST OVER!

As I look back over my blogs, I have to say I'm shocked at how much of a critical thinker I have become. Towards the beginning of the year, I would find myself sitting in front of my computer, racking my brain for something to write about. As time went on, I found myself jotting down something I thought would be interesting to write about in my notebook, a napkin, or even the back of my hand. I think this reflects itself in my most recent quarter of blogging. For example, in my blog post "A Controversial Decision", I wrote that my mom claimed killing Osama Bin Laden was 'putting him out of his misery'. I distinctly remember jotting this down on a napkin so I remembered to dissect this quote in my blog. In this way, I have become an inspired critical thinker, and I have become better at finding the inspirations for my blog posts from things that truly made me think at the time.
In addition, as I read through my blog posts, I see that I am increasingly trying to analyze symbols this quarter. For example, in my blog post titled "Let There be LIGHT" I analyzed what the use of light in The Great Gatsby symbolized to me. In an earlier post, I might've simply mentioned that I noticed light as a reoccurring theme, and talked about the different places I saw light in.
While my blog posts were not as lengthy, they were more frequent, and I have discovered that I like that style of writing more. I have many ideas, and writing about a lot of them suits me better! :)
