Blogging Around

My first comment is in regards to Jamie's blog post. Her post was about the movie "Once" and how it provided more of a real perspective towards love. It talked about logical and illogical love. I found her blog post very interesting and it raised some ideas about love and the movie that I hadn't previously thought of. Here's my comment:

"Jamie,

I agree with you that "Once" seemed more real because it was produced in a documentary style. I was very surprised that the characters returned to their "logical partners" and did not get together in the end as well. However, I think that you made a good point that sometimes the logical thing is the hardest thing to do, especially when it comes to love. Sometimes love conquers all and people turn to their illogical sides. This is what makes great stories such as "Romeo and Juliet". "Once" definitely showed some different perspectives towards love."

The next blog I read was Marika's. In her post she talked about our english class' idea to do a service project together before school ended. She also talked about the fact that we have been talking about doing a service project in spanish for the past year but it has been all talk and no walk. Here's my comment:

"Marika, Great blog post! I was actually thinking about this yesterday. We have been talking about doing a spanish service project since last year but we have never organized anything. I brought up the idea for a service project in english because I thought we would have a good chance of actually getting our act together and acting on a service project idea. It is so true that it is much easier to talk about doing a service project than actually organize one. I hope everyone submits ideas soon and we can get a project together before the end of the school year."
