I reviewed one more time my blog entries, and I like what I have done.  I tried to use what I have learned at LaGuardia Community College, especially in my ENG 102 class.   First, my blog entries are very formal writing.   It is very organized, and with a little difference about their length and font.  However, I still have problems with the structure sentence, which I am working hard to write better.   All my blog entries are described about poetry, narrative, and drama that I learned from the books selected from this class and ideas, experiences, and opinions of myself.    

It was very interesting read and writes a lot of because we can learn many things such as who is the speaker, who is the author, and who are the characters.  I also learned about citation in a book, work cited, and the most important thing understands what the main idea in the books is.

It was the first time that I have had a class writing online, and it was a great experience.   Today’s technology allows us to learn more through writing and reading online.  So, I thank my professor Dr. Ximena Gallardo that has an excellent idea to have her students connected with the world of the technology through her class.  I can also improve my writing ability because Microsoft Word help me a lot of my grammar mistakes, and I can fix it.  In addition, I can be connected with my classmates’ activities and read and learn more about them and vice versa. Thank Dr. Gallardo once again, and thank classmates for sharing our time together.

Self-evaluation and Reflection

Self-reflection

After I watched the movie Much Ado about Nothing, I could understand the meaning of the death and rebirth.  As a human being, I make many mistakes, but I am trying not to do again.  We learn from the mistakes, but sometimes are too late. As an example, Claudio loves Hero, but John who plays as villain tries to end with their relation. So, Claudio believes in John.   Claudio makes tremendous damage to Hero who supposed loves unconditionally.   Claudio believes she is death, and unfortunately, he is resent from his mistakes.  Rebirth means to give another chance to our lives.  In this case, Claudio has another change to be happy with a woman who really loves, because Hero was only hiding to give a lesson to Claudio. When we have someone who really loves, we need to have a good communication.  It is important to talk to each other, because this is the only way that we can know about us.

What I have learned writing about drama is to understand the means of the content, but let me says that it is hard.  I read the book, but I can understand only the translation and I understand also when I watched the film version of Much Ado about Nothing.  I like the characters Benedick and Beatrice because many people can be identified with them.  There are many couples that never seem their dreams to come true for being selfish and give them the opportunity to express their feelings to each other. So, this movie Much Ado about Nothing written by Shakespeare gives us an idea of how people could be, and to live with and without love.
