Welcome

Hi everyone, welcome to my blog.
This blog is being written for my senior seminar English 495ESM Multigenre Literacy in a Global Context class. I am really looking forward to this class and assignment. I think technology has become a crucial part of our lives and it's wonderful to show that it can be used to make an impact and bring people together.

I love literature and I think technology allows people all around the globe to share their passion and reach an audience on a scale that would, at one point, have seemed impossible. This is a lesson I hope to teach my students when I become a high school teacher. Literature is not about writing a masterpiece, but expressing ones ideas and hopefully reaching someone in the process; with technology, doing that is easier than ever. Even Moodle and other such programs have made it easier for teachers to connect better with their students as well as Moodle forums allowing students to connect with other students. Through experience and with a little creativity, technology can be used to better connect with newer generation students and to teach them in a way that would actually fuel their passion for the subject.

Having never written a blog, this will be a nice way for me to be creative and share the lessons I learn this semester with others.

Finding the One (Poem 02 Revision)

Note: This poem is written in four stanzas, each consisting of four lines. As compared to the other poem, it has more of a set rhyme scheme. It alternates between ABAB or rhyming couplets. This poem is loosely inspired by the Shakespearean sonnet style. 

Finding the One
Many people give up on love;
Others have it much more rough,
They never find that special one,
One whom they can call 'beloved.'

We often live lonely lives,
Because we don’t take risks in life.
If only we could share our feelings
Open up our souls and be revealing.

We might just see what life is about.
What it means to be truly alive.
We need to scream, we need to shout
We need to laugh, we need to let it out.

Loneliness can cloud our lives,
Making it difficult to feel alive.
We need to search for the joys in life,
Hopefully with a true love by our side.
