The Final Post

My mind is that of a synthesizer. I am easily able to objectively evaluate others' opinions and create my own view of their position. This has always been easy for me to do and has also been a very enjoyable part of my life. This portion of me will hopefully remain within me and not be lost to time as many attributes of a person may.

During my time as a blogger, I showed that it is very easy for me to see other points of view from the videos that I gathered and the news reports that I read in order to fully research my topic. I also was able to ask provocative questions of my audience. I had a couple people comment on my blog who were not from our AP Language class. This was unforseen and unexpected, though welcome. Lastly, I was able to experiment with new ideas. Near the end of my blog, I started to show the other side of the story, the people who were unwilling to pay more taxes due to their lack of approval of where their tax money was being spent. I was able to further understand and express other views which gave me a respect for their opinions and eventually, the people themselves.
