Final Blog Reflection

My best blog post on Analysis:
http://wilesg.blogspot.com/2013/09/analysis.html
        This blog post best examplifies Analysis. I think this because I cited strong textual evidence to support the inference of the fact that Brendan, the main character commit suicide since he moved away. In my blog I have a quote from my book saying "But I do know that Brendan was very unhappy about moving. That's a hard age to leave your friends" (Kit connor 24). This is an example of me citing strong textual evidence as to why I think Brendan might have commit suicide. Also, I make an inference about why he commit suicide when it says on my blog "This line from the book still makes me think that one of the reasons he commit suicide was because he moved, since two people have commented on the fact that he didn't want to move and seemed sad when he found out he was moving." This is showing how I made an inference about why Brendan commit suicide based on a quote from my book, which for analysis you're supposed to cite strong evidence, which I did this and inferences drawn from the text, which I did make an inference based on what the text said.
      Some goals that I have for myself for next trimester are I want to read more books next trimester and actually enjoy them. Also, I want to become a better writer and start to like writing more since i'm not that great of a writer and I want to become a better one. I want to improve on my writing skills, but I also want to improve on my reading level and start reading more challenging books, and bigger books since I tend to get scared away by big books easily. My writing could improve in a way that I could use a better writing voice and not have any silly grammatical errors because I usually have little grammaical errors but I want to make it so that I have none.
