I. Coverage
10.Tragic Hero (6&8 only)
II. Depth I chose to use this particular blog post as my depth example because I chose to do additional research online in order for myself to better and further understand the importance and relevance of Greek masks.I was then able to develop my understanding on the relationship between Greek theater and the class activity I participated in, where upon I constructed my own mask. The background research I did helped me to construct a realistic replica of a Greek mask. Without the research, I would not have properly understood the task at hand. For example, I wanted to construct a women's mask for the class activity. I then took it upon myself to research Greek tragedy masks. After looking at multiple sources and collecting the desired knowledge I needed, I was then able to conclude what this particular mask should look like, therefore replicating a realistic Greek tragedy mask. Thus, more appropriate for the activity. The Greek tragedy post in my opinion, is able to capture the exact idea of a depth post, as I did further research to conclude my point. Without it, my mask and knowledge would not be as strong.
III. Discussion I chose to use my blog post on the ideas associated within the story August 2026: There Will Come Soft Rains by Ray Bradbury because I found it sparked many controversial ideas with regrades to the dependency of technology in modern societies. The idea of technology with regrades to the positive and negative side affects of it, is a topic seen in today's society. Because of this, many can relate to the topic. After discussing the theme in my post, I determined, technology when over used, has negative side effects. This conclusion caused a debate among peers. Although many agreed, there were those who had different opinions. As the discussion carried out, many voiced there own opinions and even linked websites with other online debates about the issue. The comments that followed my posts showed many perspectives thus, capturing the idea of a true discussion.
V. Xenoblog The comment I made on Kimberly's blog was able to demonstrate my ability to provide thoughtful and new ideas and/or perspectives. In her post regarding the brother's relationship within the Scarlet Ibis she stated the brothers relationship was one sided. Selecting multiple pieces of evidence from the short story and linking other posts with similar arguments, I brought forth a new perspective on the matter illustrating both brothers are heavily dependent on each other.This allowed Kimberly to expand on her post and view a new side to the story. My comment helped develop new ideas regarding the story as well as providing hard examples and evidence from the text.
VI. Review I chose to review the book Ready Player One written by Ernest Cline’s, because it was an interesting distopia novel that I have hoped to encourage many people to read. The novel was filled with adventure and drama and in my opinion had a true cliff hanging ending. The book was well developed and had many interesting ideas. In my review I retell the beginning plot and express my personal views on the book as well as the theme. Overall, I enjoyed reading the book and writing the review. I encourage others to do the same.
