Question #1

Well the thing about a blog is that it can be a great reflection of yourself and a great way to build a positive image for yourself. 

Most employers now a days are looking up those that apply to the stores online. so the use of the blog can be more then just building a positive image of but also making any of the negative feed about you, not completely corrupt ones opinion of you. The Internet is becoming more and more important to people, and what better way to get a head start on others who are after the same thing as you, then to act upon that information and build yourself a reputation where many can find and appreciate it. The thing about building a blog is allowing all of you best traits to show without any contradictory comments. Your making it easier for people to get to know you, so when that first interview comes along for that job you wanted, you have give the employer a chance to get to know you already, allowing you to be a bit more relaxed, you can even put it directly on to your resume as to let the employer to distinguish you form others much more efficiently. Same goes for scholarships, if you have some way of indicating you as the better choice, may as well give yourself a hand and put down your cards, poker is a fun game but should not be played all the time. 

so use your blog to better your chances of achieving your goals, as pointless as it might seem at times, does help build a stronger reputation for yourself.

Comment #1
I made this comment on Claires blog because i really like the point that she made. I find that this is a very honest opinion, and wanted to make a point that being able to talk, while containing those minor details that are considered gossip, is important too.

comment #2
I made this second comment on Sams blog because i found it ironic how you can make something when you think is nothing, even though your mind is blocked you have something to write about. What i want to know is in knowing that does it make it easier to write more.

Comment #3
I made this comment because like i say im a big fan of this music it entrances you, sucks you in and holds you there while everything trembles around you. I am quite interested in how it makes others feel because it is such a popular type of music, I would like to know if people like for the same or different reasons.

Question #3

commenting back and forth on each others blogs is a good way to build up strong ideas. By listening and expressing ideas you are sharing information that will greatly increase the limit of your writing these are some of the good characteristics of a of a comment. The bad things about comments is that the person who is reading the can misinterpret the context in which you mean. By giving and receiving comments you are learning what people like and don't like even if they don't state it in there question. you can see by what they chose to comment on the kind of things people responding to, by taking this in you are then becoming a better reader/writer.

If

This is a poem i am very found of, because the ideas put forth are often lost in these years. so it is a great pleasure of mine to see remembrance of the goals we should set on our self's in life.

If

If you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

But make allowance for their doubting too:

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,

Or being hated don't give way to hating,

And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream---and not make dreams your master;

If you can think---and not make thoughts your aim,

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

And treat those two impostors just the same:.

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings,

And never breathe a word about your loss:

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

To serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

Or walk with Kings---nor lose the common touch,

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,

If all men count with you, but none too much:

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,

Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,

And---which is more---you'll be a Man, my son!

Six word memoirs

I had fun making the six word memoirs, attaching pictures to them and sharing them with others. They were a really great way to express my opinions, without dragging on and on about things that do not actually connect to the topic a hand.

I found it to be an easy task to do because i was able to break it up into steps to make it a fast process.

One think up a idea. to pick a theme that idea suits best. Three condense. With that I found the project very simple.

I found with this form of writing that it does not just help you condense ideas, it also helps with expanding them. All the six word memoirs I did gave me a starting place to further my thoughts, and because of how specific the micro version was, it can really keep you on track when you start on expressing your idea in full.

I preferred writing the six word memoirs, but I also feel that the picture taking was necessary to give a the six word memoir its full penitential. The reason I liked writing them more is because making visuals for them was not always convenient, for the location was limited. 

Six word memoir #6

I made this as a reflection onto ones past.

Have you ever thought back on something that you would have like to redone.

This could be anything from making a mistake to not doing anything at all or just something that you would have liked to do again.

I used two things to represent past. One was the fading of the back ground/ the other is the flow of water.

I used these because they are very common indicators of passing time, and wanted to use both 

so as an indicator to consider your past.

Six word memoir #5

I made this for those that find it hard to do something they feel is important.

For those that have a challenge in there life and are sticking to whats right even with the disapproving stares of others,this ones to you.

I made the figure shaded because of that feeling of being cast out. It may be hard to know what you are

doing is right but have everyone set you aside.

I also wanted to so the strength of these people, and I used the color of the tree to represent that spirit.

It is there to show the clarity and conviction of that choice.

Six word memoir #4

The reason I chose a clock for this picture was to represent the future, and I was using it 

to emphasize the things that will come to pass.

The reason I made it a bit dark is because the future is something that you will always be uncertain of.

you never really know what will happen and must leave up to hope.

The reason for this memoir was to strike out at the public at large, 

who doesn't have something they want to do, there are so many possibilities. If you have something interesting future plan please share. Everything counts

no matter how small you may think it is.

book: Harry Potter and the half blood prince
author: J.K. Rowling
pages: 31-80

I just wanted to start off by commenting on how the last book ended since I have moved on.
Last week I had a question about what was going to happen to Umbridge, and although that got answered I must say it was not very satisfying. In the end the was carried off by centaurs into the forbidden forest, this was humorous in a ironic kind of way because of her discrimination against half breeds as she called them, but I feel she could have done a bit bet then to bring her back. Since this was the book where she killed off Sirius, one of the good characters, I feel there was not nearly enough damage done to her considering all she did. I did not mind so much that she was brought of the forest more i felt it annoying how she got off scoot free with no more then a fear of centaurs. For me she should at the very least have been put in Azkaban.

In the half blood prince something I have noticed is a lot more questions are being raised then answered. All ready I have several things I want answers to. Like for example what will Harry's private lessons with Dumbledore entail. Is Malfoy  been ordered to kill Dumbledore, if so how can he possibly accomplish this when Voldemort cannot. Will Snape turn out to have been working for Voldemort the whole time, will this unbreakable vow turn out to be Dumbledore's undoing.
All these questions have built up right away and not many answers have been produced yet, and the ones that have are not fully answered. I must say J.K. Rowling has done a very good job pulling you into the story and making you interested right off the bat. I will be very happy when I am able to answer a few of these questions because there is so much suspense built up already its killing me, the unfortunate thing is these are questions that are only going to be answered at the end of the book. J.K. Rowling you have my props not even a quarter of the way in an I already know im going to be tide in beginning to end, you had a great book made before it was even finished.
