Reflective Blog On My Blogs

Reflective Blog about Blogs

Throughout this whole semester I have grown significantly in my understanding in science, with microbes to be more specific. I have only done a few argument works with these blogs just because I don’t like to dispute with people. I would much rather give them an in depth discussion on what the article or story is talking about. I have honed in my analysis skills to a very high status, only because I feel like I can give my absolute best if I am picking apart the text to use what is said to my advantage. If I was to analyze my own blogs I would be harsh, only because there is almost always something that needs to be tweaked or fixed to make the analysis stronger. While writing this I realized I do use argument, every single day. Even if I’m using analysis, I have to take a side and show the reader why I think it is important to know this information in specific. So I can say that yes, with my high status of analytical work, I have had success with doing valid arguments. I feel like my main idea gets to the point, but not right away. I can’t simply just say, here is the topic, and here is why I chose it. There is so much more to it. You have to write and rewrite if it doesn't sound good. You have to connect with the audience. You can tell a lot about a person by the way they write. I am in no position say that it id a bad thing to simplify things, I just personally can’t do that. I have so much to say and want the reader to know why I said it. In my writing there is almost every rhetorical concept included. Probably not all at once, but in each piece there is one concept shown. I try to use logos a lot just because you can’t argue with proven fact, and when you do the right research, you won’t be wrong. My perception on microbes has changed drastically. I had no idea what they were and it took up until I was a sophomore in college to learn about them. They are fantastic organisms and they hold many keys to our well being to survival. I would have to say the coolest thing I learned from other peer’s blogs is that we all have our own preference. We each like to look up things that interest us and we chose to write about it. I especially liked how we got to interact and comment on the other blogs and have an intimate conversation about the microbe in specific. It was really cool to have that kind of relationship with the classmates and get to know what they think about the subject. So all in all, I have had a wonderful time in this class and I’m glad I signed up for it. My brain is packed full of knowledge and because of it I have chosen a second career path to go along with my Music degree, I will minor in biology and have a second opportunity to teach kids the things I like and find interesting.
