Blog Topics

This year blogging has been a unique form of our creative writing. Even though blogging has been fun and filled with freedom of speech, I feel that the blog topics that were posted each week were very general. With this I felt that it was hard to create a four paragraph blog on specific posts that were made throughout the year. I will explain to you why I feel this way, and how I think the blog topics could be improved so that the writer could have more creative words.

First, I think the blog topics were much too general. What I mean by this is that the topics didn't have too much "meat" to them. Which means that it was very hard to have a strong opinion on what little information about the topic I had. Even though there were some very good blog topics that were very easy to create a strong opinion on there were still some blog topics throughout the year that frustrated me to the point where I gave up on writing them because I could not think of anything to write on them.

Secondly, I will share my opinion on how blog topics can be improved so that it is much easier to write about them. I think that when a blog topic is created, there should be much more thought put into them, then a last minute idea because you forgot that you had to post a topic. Also I think that you should really think about what topic you choose, and think about if other people would have a strong opinion on your topic.

In conclusion, I think that people should really think about their blog topics before they carelessly post them and frusterate their peers because of the very general topic that they posted. Also they need to really think ahead of time about their topic. I hope that some of the grade 7's will read this blog and really take time next year to provide a good topic for their peers to give their opinion on.

For this week, I commented on Remy's blog about Uniforms.

The Cove

The documentary was very informative. It showed me how mean people could be to animals. I think that this was a very good way of getting the cause attention. The Cove had exciting scenes of the activists trying to get photos and videos of the way they were treating the dolphins. It kept my attention more then most other documentaries. In this blog I will tell you the reasons why I think this documentary was incredibly important to the protection of dolphins.

First, the inhumane slaughtering of dolphins, without people knowing is a huge problem! I feel that the government should be preventing this instead of supporting it. Also that they slaughter so many without people knowing, in a hidden cove! This is why getting proof of the slaughter was so vital to help dolphins because it got people more aware of what is going on right under their nose.

Second, they sold the dolphin meat as whale meat. Dolphin meat has high mercury in it because it there is a lot of pollution in the ocean. When consumed by a human, this can cause fatal illnesses and diseases that can spread throughout the population. This is unacceptable because it is inhumane to both dolphins and humans because of diseases for the humans and slaughtering dolphins.

To conclude, I feel that the slaughtering of dolphins is unacceptable. The government is hiding it and the population of Japan has no clue whats happening right under their nose. Also that the government is supporting the hidden dolphin meat in whale meat packaging even though it is toxic to humans. SAVE THE DOLPHINS!!
