Blogging to generate ideas

While I am trying to come up with an outline for our first paper assignment, I can use my own personal blogs for inspiration, or to generate good ideas. I can also find things from other peoples blogs to help make my narrative a successful paper.

When I read through my own blogs it helps because it goes back over all the points that stood out to me when first reading others narratives. Instead of having to re-read all the works by Ben Franklin, and Malcom X, etc. I can use my blogs as somewhat of a summary. Certain things like how they were able to explain their story and get the reader to visually understand. Main points of their stories will be apparent when reading over my own blogs.

Other peoples blogs will prove to be very helpful as well. When reading the thoughts of others on the same subject matter that I have read, I see points that maybe I did not notice in my own reflection. I enjoy reading other peoples reflections on a narrative that differ from my own. I can use this to try to see my first paper from another persons perspective. A very valuable skill to be able to learn from others writing.
