The progress

Writing is a long process and the more times someone does it the more they approve. You can see the improvement from their beginning to their end, but most do not realize the progress looking at the pieces written closest together. Sometimes you have to skip one of two pieces to notice the biggest change. As the author of many writings you do not quite see these changes because to you they are just your writing style but many things do in fact change. As a writer, and a reader I think I have made a lot of improvements these last months. Some of the discoveries of reading that have made me improve would have to be all of the different kinds of fiction there are and how different they actually are. In the past couple of months, I was introduced to many different authors that I have never heard of before. This might have been because I was never really the biggest fan of reading or writing or because I just never found the right style for me. Being introduced to all different kinds of fiction has made me love it and enjoy reading it. I feel as if being able to enjoy a book makes it easier to analyze and then makes it easier to understand. While going through the past couple of months it has also become easier and easier to understand reading through a literary analysis because I enjoy reading them and therefore wanted to know the deeper meaning behind the story. Overall, the last couple of months have changed how I feel about reading as a whole and I will probably do a lot more reading for fun as time goes on.

Some of the blog posts I have made these past months have been on a variety of topics and reading back on some of them my writing does seem to grow and change a little between each blog post and this shows in the three postings that were different from each other. These blogs were: “Slaughterhouse-five Limerick,” “A change in point of view,” and “The bluest eye in 2020.” The “Slaughterhouse-five Limerick” I feel was the most interesting to write and then to go back and read because I got to bring out some of my more creative side so this is one of my favorite pieces and I chose to highlight it for that reason. Moving on to “A change in point of view” this was also an interesting piece to write because while writing it you could use your imagination and think about what the stories would really be about if the point of view was changed, and this is the reason I chose to highlight that piece. Lastly, I chose to highlight “The bluest eye in 2020” because I feel like to shows my more serious side of writing and it also offers a connection from a book to the real world which I feel helps a reader a lot to read a book. I feel as if all of these postings reveal how as a reader I tend to look at one specific detail and go deeper into it. It also reveals how as a thinker I am open-minded and am okay with change.

These three writings show how I have changed as a writer so I have decided not to makes major changes to them and to just focus on how I grew from piece to piece. I have not to change anything in “A change in point of view” just because I think it accurately demonstrates what was going through my head when I was thinking about the stories from a different point of view. Along the same lines, I decided not to change anything in “The bluest eye and 2020” because I feel it does accurately explain how the two overlap without giving all the critical details to someone reading the blog and hasn’t read the book. Lastly, I chose not to change anything in “Slaughterhouse-five limerick” because I feel as if there is no way to make a limerick about the PTSD that is shown throughout Slaughterhouse-five humorous.
