After reading through many of the class blogs, I found myself intrigued by the blog titled A Book About a Book http://rosebud-bookaboutabook-rosebud.blogspot.com/. I was immediately captured by the title of her first blog, "That empty feeling of being finished with a book but wanting more." I had never thought before to put that feeling into words, but I have experienced the same sensation when I'm done reading an intense book or book series. It almost feels like I don't know what to do with my life anymore; I just want to stay in that story and in the pages of that book forever. When the blog writer said, "My hunger for words is not just a desire to know exactly how everything turned out, not an unquenchable itch from not knowing for sure what happened, but a craving to keep living," she perfectly summed up my feelings after completing a book. This blog post was so insightful, and I found myself agreeing with every word she said. It is satisfying to see that she put into words what I have been feeling all this time.
As I read through more blogs, one stuck out to me that had a strong post about the Dead Poet's Society. They used beautiful language and words that really made me visualize what was happenning in the movie. Even if I had not seen it myself, this blog, http://flynapmorruge.blogspot.com/, would have left me with the perfect image in my head of what was taking place in the story. This blog post just goes to show that the proper wording can make or break your writing.
