Final Blog Reflections

http://erinmullins22.blogspot.com/2015/03/the-perks-of-being-wallflower-stephen.html

  Throughout my 2015 blogging experience, I feel that my post about what I was going to read, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, was probably the most well-written response. In this post, I explained how I was going to start reading this book for independent reading and I explained what it was going to be about. This book is written in a different type of way; the pages are actually letters written by the main character. I think that I included a detailed summary of the book, but at the same time, not giving too much information away. By using different examples of strong diction in this post, it helped the reader visualize what I was talking about and what I wanted them to know about the book. There were also examples of figurative language as well like, "This book is a story about what its like to go through the roller-coaster ride of high school." and "...Sam and Patrick who takes him under their wings." which enhance the blog and make it relatable to the readers in the end. Overall, I feel like this is my strongest blog post because of the many different details I included and the use of literary elements to allow the reader to get a better understanding of this story.
