Blogging Around

After blogging around, a few blogs in particular stood out to me.  I decided to comment on blogs whose authors' ideas I don't get to hear very often.

My first comment was on Declan's Connection blog.  He connected Charlie Brown to Amir, very original.  "You bring up several unique and original thoughts and angles about Amir. I like how you choose one topic, and a very finite topic as well, and dissect it until you provoke thought and question to the reader. Another thing I appreciated was the fact that you carried over other things we talked about in class over to your blog entry. I could hear your voice in the writing and nothing sounded forced or awkward. Also, vocabulary recently learned was applied, but not forced."

Next, I commented on Molly's Best of the Week.  The post was short and sweet.  I like the whole thing, but i started asking myself some questions while reading. For example, would writing a memoir be effective in helping someone remember a past experience that they are presently fond of, and simply would like to go back to the time and place? Also, you said that writing a memoir would be like writing a diary. Would looking back and reading an old diary serve the same purpose as a memoir? We have seen that memory is usually inaccurate and distorted, because it's just like that... So would the "memoir" be more poweful or less powerful if it were an old diary as opposed to the conventional memoir? (Powerful in terms of the effect on the author).
