Blog 10: Reflection

For Blog 10 you will compose an entry of 300-500 words where you will 1) reflect on the content of the course and what has been more interesting for you to explore as well as what it is you would like to know more about (to help you, I am including a list of concepts) and 2) discuss yourself as a writer as seen in your blog. What do you see as your strengths and weaknesses and  how has using a blog for most of your writing instead of papers helped you or did not help you to do the work? You should also talk about your strongest and weakest piece of writing in the blog, so you should spend some time reviewing your entries.

Thematic concepts: illusion and reality; the allegory of the cave; historical examples of illusions; destiny and free will;  mythology in the Matrix; Ignorance, Bliss, and Knowledge in Oedipus the King.

Writing concepts: Summarizing. Invention techniques. Thesis and topic sentences. Incorporating text from a source into your own essay. Documenting sources and MLA documentation style. Annotating sources. Using primary sources such as the LaGuardia archives.Introductions and conclusions.
