Blog posting for my English class was a new experience for me and I have never done it before. With new kind of Internet interaction, such as, blogging on the Internet distances between people become smaller. Blog can be posted almost anywhere which makes it even more important for these days society. Furthermore, posting blogs can bring people closer together.

In class we were asked to make observations of our class on every Tuesday. If we look back, these blogs are a good indicator what we did and how good our progress was.

Last week of semester

We are entering into the last week of this fall semester. Everyone is getting excited due to the fact that we will be able to go home and spend New Year with our families. Even though, most of us still have school obligations. I believe that we all are working hard to get grades we want and to finish this semester as good as we can. Therefore, try to give your best and have great holidays.

Clemson community

As a Clemson student and a tennis team member I am part of the Clemson community. Being in this position is a big honor for me. Especially, when I am playing in a match and representing our school. Clemson community is something special due to the fact that all students are connected, even thought there are many cultural, religion, and age differences. Every single person is giving its part to a better community as a whole.

The Bowl Game

Chick-fil-A bowl game is going to be one of the most exciting events for Clemson in recent years. Unfortunately it is scheduled for the December 31st. I would really love to be part of it, but at that time I will be spending time with my family in Slovenia. My believe is that this will be a big and close game; however, at the end Clemson football team will celebrate the victory.

My writing style

Before I came to United States I did not had as much writing skills as I have it now. I am finishing my second semester and my first English class. My knowledge about how to write is improving every day, at least from my point of view. Class is helping me to stay in this way and to get even better. It is no doubt that I still have to do a lot of work, but I am confident to achieve this goal.

Thank you for smoking

During the week class our teacher showed us a movie called “Thank you for smoking”. A movie, we were watching, was really interesting, especially due to the fact that it was in strong connection with our class subject; good argument is needed for a successful persuasion. The movies’ main character was using it perfectly. He was able to convince almost anyone he wanted to. Besides his persuasive speech, he was also using his body, for example, his hands which made even bigger effect on his audience. I can say that this movie is a helpful tool of how to accede to a conversation.

Changes to visual rhetoric project

As a consequence of doing a visual rhetoric assignment, I know much more about how to use it functionally in a paper or any other type of a project. Any kind of visual can have positive effects. An appropriately use can enhance valuable information in your paper. Even more, it can make your paper more appealing and attractive. On the other hand, if you use it inappropriately it can have opposite results. Excessively use of photos makes paper harder to read.
