Blog Entry 10

March 30, 2009 andrendevinmgsp

I have to say that I was worried when I knew it was the final paper. I was still a little confused with the genre and I was unsure how I would write a paper about it. However, once i got rolling on the ideas that I had,and after I read a few other examples I really got the hang of it.

My plans to keep writing and expanding on it are to write about the last two papers that we have written. This will complete my part on each paper and the portion of my definition of I that it has given me. I will talk about how i have grown through these essays and these challenges. I would also like to write a paragraph on how the bloging process has helped me and how it has changed me as a writer. I know that is very important to my process and it is important that i include it.

In addition to the above things i would also like to write a paragraph on how my sister and prof have helped me to become a better writer. I will use this kind of like a dedication portion because it is very true. I believe that the meaning of I is understanding that each and every person on this earth is pieces of everyone that they have encountered along the way on their journey. I want to be able to show that and to explain how it is changing how i write and who i am in a good way. I will then have a good closing paragraph with my definition of what is I, for me that is, and that the definition will continue to change as i change.

i liked your blog entry i also agree that it was hard to start the paper off but once you got rolling it was easy to get 5 pages done. i think the things that you will add to your paper will make it even better.

I thought you had a really good approach to writing this paper. It gave me some ideas to help me write my paper.

My own concept is how the relationships of those around you (family members, etc) help shape who you are. So I definitely agree with you entirely when you said how “each and every person on this earth is pieces of everyone that they have encountered along the way on their journey”. That is a great way to put it. Keep up the great work, and good luck with your final paper!

Thank you for the advice and comment. I am glad to hear that there are other people on the same page as me. It is reassuring to know that others are adding in the same things as me.

Thanks for saying that i have a good approach. I am glad that i gave you some good ideas to help you get started. To be honest, i had to read many other people’s essays to get an idea of what i should write about. The definitions were not enough for me to understand what needed to be done but it was through reading other people’s i had a much better understanding.

yes. I agree but once you get the ideas flowing they never seem to stop.

I really like how you plan on expanding your paper. Talking about how you have grown through your essays will have you have a better knowing for a definition. Good job.
