English final blog reflection

In this blog post I am examining the best line in my opinion from chapter 9 of my book. I think this blog best shows my ability to write to the standard required to be able to analyze well what I am trying to explain in the blog post. This is shown in the way the post is written because I think I have gave a good idea of what the quote means without just making it a boring summary this is shown in the language that I have used in the post, I was trying to make it more like I was talking to the reader rather than just making an overview by using personal pronouns and giving my opinions on the quote and what I think is going to happen next in the story. I also gave a good idea of what has been happening in the chapter up to this point, such as what Theo’s friend Julio is trying to tell Theo about (the witness to the murder) which could have a huge impact on the case but the problem with taking the witness to see the court or talk to a lawyer is that he is an illegal immigrant working to get money for his family back in his home country.

Through this experience one thing I struggled with at the beginning in my first few posts was how to word the posts I was finding it difficult to find words that would make my posts more interesting to read and trying not to make them boring. One way I overcame this problem was by trying to write what  I thought would be less boring and just writing it rather than trying to make things difficult and thinking all the time is that good enough while still trying to make sure they made sense but making them be more personal I the way they were written.one strength I had was length I think I managed to make all of my posts a good length. And for next trimester I would like to be able to carry on writing more personal pieces of writing and trying to read more than I do. I would like to improve on wording of my writing.
