Reflection

The first essay on my blog was about my experience in nature. The other one was about the flaws of the punishment in the Scarlet Letter. I was trying to link the nature experience with the beliefs of Emerson and Thoreau. My second piece talked about how punishment has become better since the days of the Scarlet Letter. My experience in nature was a very good one and really made me think about the world and our meaning in it, but I believe Ralph Waldo Emerson put that feeling in to the best words possible in his great writings. He was the Colonel Sanders of nature writing, a true rebel of the english literature in the early 1800's. As for the Scarlet Letter, I think that the punishment dealt out in that was dumb and had many flaws.
My writing obtained many flaws in which Mrs. Turner pointed them out. I used to many being verbs in my writings which is something that I am trying to improve on. It is a bad habit that is hard for me to fix in my pieces. I also have the tendency to lose meaning in my works towards the end, I can't really keep up the intensity that I set up in the beginning. I am also trying to improve on that flaw in my writings as well. I also have problems with the placement of my comma's, I'm what you may call "comma crazy", which means I use to many or don't know when to. I really felt like I've been able to identify these problems thanks to Mrs. Turner and I'm trying to fix them.
While reading through my fellow classmates blogs I noticed something, I'm deffinatly not as talented at writing as some of them. Ben's blog, for example, has alot of deatail and looks and sounds way better than all of my writings. Will's as well sound alot better than mine and I think that's something I need to work on. Also my introduction and conclusion have never really been up to par compared to everyone else's.
