Blogging Around

Isana P.

In Isana's blog post, she talks about this unique relationship between how to write well and how to live well. She did tied this relationship together by comparing "The Sea of Information" and the senior year of high school. This relationship was well described and written out for a reader to understand the point Isana was trying to get across.

"When reading this post, I must say, I thought for just a second that you were reading my mind. This issue of being a senior in high school and making all these major decision is something that bothers me every single day. How am I supposed to look into the future and see what I wanna be in 5years? In 20 years? It just really blows my mind. However, what I like most about your post was how you connected writing with life in general. This kind of connection is something I have never even considered, maybe this being because I am not one who finds joy in writing so I never really look at it as a way to relate to living a good life. Now, even though I may not be the best writer or even find it to be my number one hobby, I still find this connection fascinating. The way you explain how when you write you find this certain spark and it leads you, it guides you to a place where you know is where you are supposed to go and connect that to finding a spark in life and having that lead you towards your destination. I just found I could relate to that 100%. In this post you were really preaching to the crowd and it's something you should be proud of because I really enjoyed it."

In Vika's blog she connect Born Into Brothels to her own photography. She showed this connection by not only talking about how her own life connects to the kids' in the brothels, but she also showed this by actually showing us viewers actual photographs she took to help us understand her connections on a much higher level of comprehension. 

"I would like to just start out by saying one simple word; wow. Your pictures are amazing. For some odd reason, or maybe it's not odd at all, but I find photography to be one of the coolest things anyone has ever invented. I'm sure your probably saying "well duh it's the coolest thing" because you are so passionate about it. And your passion is the exact thing that drew me into your blog, or should I say blogs. It is hard for me to just comment on one blog, so while i have the chance I would like to say that both of your blogs were very interesting the way you incorporated your own photography. I was confused whether I like the beautiful photos or the writing itself. However, as I write this I have come to realize that it is both the writing and the pictures together that creates these blogs. The way you explain your blog like your having a conversation with someone is a major part in why I found myself drawn to it. But the pictures itself was another major thing. The way each pictures is so simple yet so complicated and the way it tells a story is something I find to be so amazing."
