This past few weeks we have started a thing called “Wiki”. I am not going to lie when I heard this I was like ugg...really this is going to be so boring. Then when you told us we could pick out our own word’s I thought to myself I could make this fun. That’s when I decided to pick out the word that everyone should know about.
That’s when I decided to pick out the word blonde a word that is discriminated a lot in our society. As I said in my wiki Blondes have a reputation for being dumb, clumsy, forgetful, etc. I was even in a dictionary, and that point came up. That’s when I thought enough was enough. I am normally a person who does not express my thoughts nor feelings very well. Well In my wiki I have learned to express my feeling much better. I found it is much easier to do this when I find something I am very strong about. So now that we are getting more into the wiki I am very glad that we have done this project. I think it will help me as a writer in the end. Not only that the wiki is something I look forward to when coming into class.

I'm happy to hear this, Logan. I'm glad you picked a topic that is important to you.
ReplyDeleteLanguage is powerful and has a big role in determining how we perceive ourselves and others. I'm glad you're tackling blondeness, because even though blonde jokes seem innocent enough, they are still creating stereotypes.
I agree when your writing about something that you truley believe in you have such a freedom. It makes the projects alot easier when you like what your writing about. I think blonde was a good and unique word to chose!
