The "mentor blogs" that inspired me.

 


One of the blogs which inspires me is a League of Legends-inspired blog. As a gamer, one of my favorite video games which I love to play is League of Legends. But aside for my love and bias for video games and League of Legends, the aesthetic of this blog really inspires me. I admire the simplicity of it and the layout, as well as how easy it is to access the various categories posted. It makes it easy on the reader to understand where they need to look for what they are trying to locate.



Another blog which also inspires me is Stephanie Buttermore's Blog, a fitness influencer. Fitness and wellbeing hits close to home for me (as pre-covid, I was regularly attending the gym). To put my biases aside once again, I really admire the visual aesthetic of this blog. I also admire the layout and how she added multiple pictures of herself. Her blog is structured in such a way that it really makes the reader get a good idea of who Stephanie is.



As opposed to the other first two blogs I admire, The Junto stands out to me in ways other than its visual aesthetic. The Junto is an American History blog composed of multiple faculty serving to provide information regarding early American History to those whom are interested in it. Personally, I admire this blog for its layout and content, despite the visual aesthetic of the blog not necessarily appealing to me. The layout is relatively easy to navigate, with specific tags dedicated to certain blog posts which allows the reader to easily locate whatever it is they are looking for.

My Big 5

 Throughout this year in my SUPA writing class, I have learned a lot. Now, I want to share some of that knowledge to whomever is willing to read and receive. These are my Big 5. Primarily first, I've learned a lot about the dangers of single stories. This concept is derived from a Ted Talk given by Chimamanda Adachie, a nigerian woman who explains her experiences with racism and the multiple single stories people have held about her based on her ethnicity. A single story simply put is a harmful stereotype, whether they are to be held by one single person or about a group of people. These single stories can be dangerous, they can be the things driving racism and ignorance. The best way to go about combatting these single stories is to approach things with an open mind, and allow others of various cultures or social institutions you may not be familiar with to explain themselves and express themselves. Here is the Ted Talk if you want to watch:  https://www.ted.com/talks/chimama...

An In-Depth Look At What Analysis Means

  Leah McBarron SUPA Wrt 105 Schilly Block 2 3/18/21 An In-Depth Look At What Analysis Means If you asked me a few months back what it meant to analyze someone or something, I’d simply give the definition of inspecting or looking at something with a close lens. While this is part of the importance of analysis and what it means to be analytical, whether it is in terms of writing or not, analysis is much more and goes far beyond just closely inspecting something. Over the course of the past few weeks for the duration of Unit 2 for my writing class, I have worked closer and practiced writing analytically firsthand, ultimately changing my perception of what it means to analyze something. From my experiences and practice, a common relationship among all pieces I worked with or wrote analytically is that analysis is a lot of breaking down a question that is being asked, as while shifting your lens from “what?” to “how?” and “why?” all while suspending any judgement. Primarily, I want...

Looks Aren't Everything

 Up until a few days ago, I'd never heard of the movie Little Miss Sunshine . Originally, I was under the impression the movie wasn't going to be anything phenomenal, or anything that blew me away. But after completing watching this movie, I was proven utterly wrong--and not just because Steve Carell is in it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oS7GzRivYoM In  Little Miss Sunshine, we see a dysfunctional family come together in order to support their young daughter/granddaughter/niece, Olive, as she strives to win the Little Miss Sunshine Pageant. Despite not winning and ultimately getting kicked out, she is joined on stage with her family alongside her for one last big hoorah. It is honestly a much happier ending in my opinion than Olive winning. In the film Little Miss Sunshine,  directors and husband and wife Valerie Faris and Jonathan Dayton portray societal norms and standards like the prevalence of depression, body image and mental illness/issues in society. They do th...
