Remember the Blogs

Bluemem#10- My blogging world

            Well I spent a whole semester blogging about memories that I have had that started off as good memories but ending up leaving a sour taste in my mouth. Memories in blue symbolized memories that were beautiful to me at first glance. Below the blue rose displayed that in reality nothing is ever perfect and almost always sticks you with a thorn or two. I enjoyed writing about my memories.                                        

            When I first started this blog, I thought it was going to be a lot harder than it actually turned out to be to connect my memories with readings we had done in class. The first blog, I must admit was my most difficult connection. The big idea in our first reading was society and the public sphere and  I really struggled with trying to make a  connection with some event in my life. Once I got over the hurdle of the first blog however, the others seemed to flow a little better into each of my memories as I was writing. 

      I would like to use this blog entry to reminisce on what I readings I enjoyed the most in class. Okay so Putnam, I enjoyed her reading because I felt like there was a lot of truth to the things that she suggested. I personally agree with her claim about how successful one is in life is often based off of who they have as connections.  I also enjoyed both of Turkle’s readings. “The Nostalgia of the Young” and “Growing up Tethered”  both opened up my eyes to ideas I had never considered about my connection to social networks such as Facebook.  Sherry Turkle was definitely my favorite theorist this semester. Overall my blogging experience for the semester was a good one.
