Reflection
What can I say about
blogging? I didn’t think that I would enjoy doing it. It seemed to be a time consuming hobby, and honestly,
I thought, “does anyone really care about what others have to say about a
topic?” But as I started, I realized
that blogging could be a good way to state your opinions, as well as, pose
questions to others and challenge them to think or “reflect”. After I was finished, I was proud of my blog,
and by being able to add pictures and move paragraphs around, I think that it
makes writing a “boring” essay more exciting.
Another thing that I loved about choosing the topic I did is that my dad
actually took part in this. Even though
his name isn’t mentioned in any books or articles, he is a part of history.
The worst part of the “Blogging Blue Jays” project was
actually learning to use the blog program.
No matter what I did or how many times I uploaded my entries, I couldn’t
figure out how to get it in the proper order.
It was so frustrating. I also
wish that I wasn’t limited to defined entries within the topic. There weren’t many books available to me, but
there was a lot of information on the web.
I feel like I could have chosen one entry and written an 1800 word paper
on just one of the sub topics.
If I could do this project all over again, I would definitely
start sooner. It seemed to me that
different websites gave different information and it would have taken a lot of
time to research and find the exact information. Maybe that has to do with the fact that no
one really knows the exact numbers of deaths and refugees. From what I read, families of the victims are
still trying to get the “truth” of what happened. I also wish I had spent more time on the
project because the topic was so interesting.
I wanted to read more on the subject and the
history of the region.
