Last Post of the Year!

        Over the last school year, I've done about 30 blog posts. For my last one, I'd like to focus on a few assigned questions, starting with "In what ways can writing online be liberating?  Limiting?"
I think writing online can be both limiting or liberating, depending on the writer. Some would feel liberated because they have the guts too some some opinions online that they wouldn't normally say. Or, they feel limited because they know other people will be reading their writing, so they're self-conscious. Basically, the writer either limits or liberates them self. This question ties into the question "Do you think that teenagers abuse the freedom that being online gives you on sites like facebook? Do people type things they would never say to a person's face? Do you think this is a good or bad thing? Why?" As I said before, yes, I do believe that people say things online that they wouldn't say in person.  But I don't really know if this can be titles as "abusing."  I say this because certain websites such as facebook give you the freedom to say things, whether you'd say them in 'real life' or not. But if the creators of websites like these REALLY though that this would happen, they are so wrong, and so stupid. When people are online they get the courage to say things because they're protected and far away from the reader of the things they type. I don't think that this can be immediately classified as good or bad. Yeah, I think it's stupid when people have the courage to have conversations with you on facebook but not in person. But I wouldn't consider it bad at all! However, if you are dissing someone and being anything from rude or down right bitchy to another person online, that's not okay. I think this because once you say something online (like this), it's gone. Anyone cans see it. And two, if you don't have the courage to fight with a person face to face, than don't fight, because that show's your obviously not a strong or smart person.
      Another question I would like to address is " Can you imagine yourself keeping up this blog or creating another one?  What would it be about?  What's your opinion of blogs in general and why?"  I don't think I could keep any blog. If I don't have too, It's hard for me too maintain things that I don't particularly enjoy. Yeah, blogging is fine, but I don't really like to write that much, especially when it's so hard for me to think of topics for writing. This is my opinion of blogs for myself. However, I think blogging is fine for anyone who actually enjoys blogging, because they're very fun to read because I'm a nosy person, so I have to know everything.

The Virgin Suicides, number 2

   " 5 blond sisters, the Lisbons live in suburban Michigan in the mid '70s. They are all teenagers, ranging from 13 to 17, who live under the strict Catholic no-boys policy of their parents. As bad is this sounds, it gets so much worse. Within the first 30 pages, Cecilia, the youngest, succeeds in killing herself." This is what I said last week while describing the Virgin Suicides. However,  have read most of the book since then. Another main event that has happened since then is Homecoming.
     However surprising it is that Mrs. Lisbon allowed her 4 remaining daughters to go to Homecoming, it happened. It started when Trip Fontaine fell in love with the 14 year old daughter, Lux. Trip, who fell for Lux just by looking at her and admiring her from a far, asked her father for permission to take her. Mr. Lisbon said no at first, but after some good tips and promising to get dates for his other daughters as well, the Lisbon's were convinced. However, there would be certain rules.
     I feel like it was really good that the Lisbon girls went to Homecoming. Not only did they get to leave the suffocating house, but four boys actually MET them. Before, the Lisbon girls just seemed like sacred angles. The were admired and cared for deeply from a far, but no one really knew them or what the were like. After that night, the boys danced with them, talked, laughed, shared with them. Two of them kissed their dates. The Lisbon girls became real people, as opposed to who they were before to these boys.
