:: Blogging ::

Personally, I don't blog. I find it hard to maintain a blog regularly and make posts, as I generally do not consider most things to be "special" enough to warrant a blog post. Thus, most of my posts, like this one, are about concepts, not events. Maintaining a blog requires one to have patience, eloquence and an interesting life, none of which I possess in quantity. It also requires devotion and time, which I usually reserve for other activities.

Blogging as an assignment is not very good either. Most daily events would be classified as "trivial" and notable events usually occur outside the period of time during which your blog is evaluated. The problem is that blogs are meant to be long-term, a collection of your life over time. In contrast, assignments are usually supposed to be completed quickly. A month simply isn't enough time for enough interesting events to occur to have multiple entertaining posts. Instead, it would be better for us to maintain a blog from Sec 1 to Sec 2. This gives enough time for the blogger to have interesting things to post and develop a unique style of writing. Furthermore, the blogger can see how his thoughts have matured from the large array of posts over time, tying in with the text to be studied in Sec 2 - To Kill a Mockingbird, a Bildungsroman or "Coming of age" novel.
