~~~The Final Blog Post~~~

During this year of blogging I learned that books can make you think a lot about things in real life. Blogging showed me that I have a lot of things to say about my books. I feel that blogging has changed me as a reader because I am looking for things in the book to write about at the end of the week. I have developed skills to elaborate on topics that I would not have been able to at the beginning of the year. I benefited from this experience of writing a blog by learning how to elaborate on small topics and continue to write with no limit.

Writing online is different from writing in a notebook because when you tell me to write one page in a notebook I just write one page and only one page. On the blog there is no limit to how much to write, sometimes you just continue and somehow there is a long post right there. Also when writing online people can see what you are writing and when you are writing in a notebook most of the time people would not be able to see what you are writing. You do not really express yourself while writing in a notebook. Writing online can be liberating because you can write anything or express your thoughts in any way, but it can also be limiting by having to write a certain way. It can limit what you can write about too.

I think that teenagers do abuse the freedom that the internet grants you. It is like the internet is a place where people should use it carefully and not too much. Teenagers everywhere are always using the internet to do things that they would regret. Abusing the freedom that it gives you is a horrible thing because it does not do any good for the person abusing it.

I cannot imagine myself keeping up with this blog or creating another because it would take too much time and effort with all the work I would have in high school. I blogged because it was part of my grade. I think that blogs are really hard things to keep up with and sometimes annoying when you just want to relax and not do anything.

Overall, I cannot believe that this is my final blog post out of 31(including this one) of the year. This blog helped me express my ideas and showed me that I can create a long response from a tiny topic. I think that it was great to have a blog this year.
