Typically, the class and I was assigned to write, yet, another blog. This blog entry, however, fascinates me. In this blog, we aren't just voicing our opinions, we are reading and considering the other opinions of our classmates. While I was just blogging around, I commented on two of the five blogs that stood out to me.
Andrew Bennett- Best of the Week: Prostitutes
The first blog I chose to speak about was Andrew Bennett's. He picked a sensitive topic that we had touched on in a previous week. In his post, he wrote about the movie we watched in class called "Born in the Brothels", while watching that movie, I didn't pay much attention to how the girls sold themselves sexually to men in the brothels. What I noticed more was the poverty they went through.
What I liked about Andrew's post was that it pointed out to me what I missed while watching the film. Not only did he just talk about prostitutes in the Brothels of India, but also how prostitution is in the states.
On his blog, I wrote the following:
"This was a really interesting blog topic. While scrolling through the class page of blogs, yours was different and insightful, hitting on a topic that no one else used. The title got me right away and I was interested in hearing what you had to say, your opinion on the matter. This was a well-written blog!"
Mackenzie O'Brien- Connection: Creativity and The Beatles
The second blog that caught my attention was Mackenzie O'Brien's blog post about the connection between creativity and, the revolutionary band, The Beatles.
Mackenzie wrote her blog with certainty and she had a captivating topic. What first drew me to her blog, was the title. It included two things that I found interesting and made it into one fabulous blog post. Her entry helped me better understand what The Beatles were all about, the way they wrote their songs and the instruments they incorporated. They went outside the norm of music making in their time and made it a revolution!
She went on to explain the impact that having such creative ability can make on people, and the world for that matter. Without the revolution that was The Beatles, where would music be today? Her entry didn't just give me facts, but it also opened my mind to where we would be without creativity, with out the great minds that pave the new paths.
On her blog, I wrote the following:
"Okay, this is probably one of my favorite blog postes to read. I loved this blog because, like you, I LOVE the Beatles. You captured what they were about in a way that connected to class. Through learning about creativity, and your connection to the Beatles you have helped me better understand the art of their music. Their soul, their passion and their minds. Great post, Kenz!"
