Expanding Minds

      What I find so fascinating is that there are no measures in a humans creativity. That is why there are so many great artists of all kinds. Movies come along in this situation and so does music. They all start with writing, though. Humans have active thoughts and when they are able to keep those active thoughts in writing. All those famous books like The Hunger Games, I used wonder how does someone think that big? It is very possible thought. The Mortal Instruments (TMI) has motivated many people to use their talent to do something based on TMI.  For example there is this YouTuber, Beth Crowly. She is a song writer, singer, and pianist. She is also a teacher and used all of her talent to write a beautiful song for TMI. Beth is trying to get her song in one of the future upcoming TMI movies. I can see cause and effect function in society. Someone creates an amazing idea and others enlarge that idea or they do something based on what that piece of work. Like blogging helped me do many great things with books. It gave me different view of how I see books.

     I intend to wait until the last minute to do homework assignments. It is a terrible habit of mine that I am determine to improve. The procrastinating has helped my write even better, though. Before, I would do an egregious job on my work, if I were to wait the day before to do my blogging. Procrastinating is sort of like a motivation. A motivation that I actually shouldn't have but I will be improving it. Another thing I have noticed is not of my blogging skills but reading, since in blogging I write my own thoughts on a book, sometimes I do not know what to write. I have found a method to solve that. I would annotate as I read a book. I would do the annotating in my head and try to remember it for my blog. Finding the meaning of the text or making predictions in the stories then sharing it with my classmates on blogging. I sometimes would want to know what my classmates think about something so in my blog I ask them to please comment on their own thoughts. I would like to compare mine to theirs. My word choices are also improving. I read all my blogs in juxtaposing order. My word choices were great at times but were not used as much. Then later to my other blog posts I see so many words and phenomenal paragraph organization. I actually could not believe that I wrote that. Just having this blog has reshaped my thoughts and writing style.

     For these last two quarters I hope to have my summaries a better. I intend to put a little too much entail into them. I would also like to talk how I write which is with the word choices. I also want to improve everything in my blogging in order for me to do that I will ask a family member to give me ideas to improve a post before uploading it. My all time favorite post would have to be Infinite Brightness the reason for that being would be because of the point of view and just knowing I gave a lot of effort to that blog post is a spectacular feeling. It was based of the book Perks of Being a Wallflower which tell a beautiful coming of age story. I summarized the story but in a teacher's point of view which helped me think about other characters instead of the main one. Prompts and main points I plan to include in my blogs guide me in many things. I think it is oddly strange for me to have over one thousand page views. I guess my thoughts have expanded so much into a world of fantasy but I just don't see it that well yet.
