This will be my first proper blog ever since my previous unsuccessful blogs which all merely contain "Under Construction" and truth be told, my main reasons behind this new blog is for schoolwork, but hopefully I can use this blog to improve my pathetic English. For now, this will be a test blog meant for schoolwork with a bit of me sprinkled here and there.
To the understanding of Russell Baker's techniques in his selection "On Becoming A Writer" that we discussed in class earlier today, he manages to sustain the reader's attention by foreshadowing in his previous paragraphs, allowing him to hold the reader in suspense as to how he is going to fail with the essay where he was true to himself and get scolded in front of the whole class. When he continues, he does a wonderful job with a long description of how Mr. Fleagle was reading his essay and how happy he felt at bringing joy to the class, thus holding the reader's attention over long paragraphs.
I end off here for now. Next time, I'll be back with not just a post full of homework but some reflections of the day.
Signing off @ 20:55hrs, 19 Feb 2008
