Reflection

                My blog meets the requirement in the rubric because I talk about the possible theme in the book and I mention it multiple times when reading the book. Also in the book I talk about certain characters and how they change in emotion and how there self as a whole changes throughout the novel. I really keep track of Katniss in Peeta when the games begin and when they end because you can see a difference of how they developed into new people. I also draw analysis many times when making my blog by looking back at my prediction and comparing all the details to come up with well thought out analysis of the story. In the above post you can see how I start to look at characters and they connect with each other. Also you can see how I start to form an analysis and theme of the book.

Goals I have next trimester for reading is that I can try to read two books instead of one and develop a plan so that I read every night for a certain amount of time. Next trimester I could work on my writing by maybe adding more detail about the subject is am talking about. Also I think that I could work on getting on the blog more and so that I make sure I have a certain number of blogs each week. Areas of improvement I want to work on are finding better connection to the story to add to my blog. Writing I think I could work on adding maybe quote’s from the story and really giving the reader more detail about the characters in the book. One thing I struggled with through the experience is making sure after I read I sit down and write the blog as soon as possible so I can remember all of the important details in the last reading. I overcome this struggle by making sure my book and my lap top were in the same spot all the time so when I got done reading I pick up the computer and started writing. One strength I had in blogging was that I really told the reader what was happening in the story in my reading and how the characters and I felt. I also think I did a good job at making predictions and writing lots of work so that reader could really get a sense about what was happening in the book. In the example post it shows how I start to look at the characters and see how they compare to each other and developed a theme and analysis of the story.
