Blog 12

I must admit that I was completely oblivious to "blogging" prior to taking this class. I knew what blogs were but I had never created or written one on my own, so I was immediately introduced to something new. That is a positive thing. It was difficult learning the format for the blogs at first but it didn't take long to get familiar with the program. For me, it was not difficult to write the blogs or meet the 250 word requirement.
It was fun to voice my opinion on the plays since Shakespeare's writings have so many moral, ethical, and social elements surrounding every scene in every play. Another cool aspect of the blogs was commenting on classmates entries as well as reading their responses to mine. Since Shakespeare is often difficult to decipher , I was interested to see if I was completely lost at times, or if people actually shared my views toward certain topics in the plays. The blogs also forced me to analyze the stories and characters a little deeper which lead to a better understanding of the plays. They also gave insight into events that may have influenced Shakespeare's work.
I like the creative aspect of blogging in that I can voice my opinion freely. However, I'm not sure i will continue to blog For two reasons:
1) I don't have anything to blog about.
2) Who is going to read my blogs?
If the opportunity to blog again arises in the future, I will embrace it.
