"Wiki" Deja Vu

        The moment Ms. Serensky introduced us to the Blog Project, undesirable memories of the 10th grade Wiki Project snapped back into my consciousness. I experienced a flashback to Honors English 10 class. I suddenly remembered suffering from multiple nervous breakdowns brought on by the time consuming Wiki Project. I suddenly suffered from a mild form of a nervous breakdown after realizing the fact that a large part of the project consisted of us constructing a creative site, with creative entries. Creativity is something I lack. My first entry included literary devices after every quote, and three quotes in the paragraph(Obviously, I struggled to break free from the formal analysis when writing my first blog) A few entries later, I was writing all about the time I crashed the car into the garage, tearing two doors off...and somehow finding a way to connect this unforgettable incident to AP English. Soon after, I changed my title from "Sarah Ross's AP English 12 Blog." I began to deviate from the formal analysis. Therefore, I believe that this blog project has helped us to find a creative outlet to talk about other aspects of english besides strictly the book. Due to this project, I feel that I have been able to better understand the implications of the text and the topics we discuss, as it has guided us to connect the events/themes of the novel to our own lives, and the lives of people around us. Though I am no Lizzy Burl(a creative blogging expert), writing songs about the books we read, I believe that I gained a creative outlook on the topics we discuss in class, and the novels we complete. If we do not continue our blogs next semester, I will miss them...and the Blog Banter.
