This is an entry for Day 3
THE TASK: We have ten or more members who joined WDC during the years of 2002 and 2004. Pick any five and review something from their portfolio. Post your review numbers of the five in your blog entry and tell us what drew you to that work. (Remember a paragraph not one sentence) Just think this week reviews earn more gps. My Notes: I can honestly say finding WDC members from 2002-2004 were a lot easier to find this time around since I learned the "Authors" tricks. Thank goodness. Overall, I picked the ports because there's something about these authors/community members writing and expression that I enjoyed. Also, the items I choose to review (because there's A LOT in their Ports!) were mainly based on their titles. There was something about the title of that work that drew me in. Onto the reviews... My reviews:
Review of "Treasure"  The Title was Treasure and I knew treasure could be anything. I clicked on the item and immediately I liked the way it was presented, in a neat, orderly fashion and the WDC ML made it easy to read. The first couple of lines had me hooked - there's more to an action/adventure treasure maps and chests. This poem was about emotional treasure and I enjoyed reading it.
Review of "Rinse, repeat" The title here is "Rinse, Repeat," and it piqued my curiosity. Certaintly, this couldn't be about laundry, could it? Thankfully, no. It's about sticking to what we're used too, because in a way, we're bored and don't know any better. I liked the use of the video to establish a rhythmic beat for the poem as it was written. It was very catchy and engaging.
Review of "The Beatles, Abba Music Journal, Stories" The title had me right away. This is a blog and I'm always game to check out a blog. This blog was about musical influences with a focus on the Beatles and Abba. It was very entertaining, and engaging. The writing was concise and this blog just brought back good memories.
Review of "Waves" Again, the title intrigued me, especially when I opened the item up and discovered 8 lines of poetry/prose. The poet had a lot to pack into those eight lines so when I read them, I was blown away. There's a lot of raw, heartfelt and honest expression in those eight lines. Very poignant and moving.
Review of "Comma: Punctuation That Works Overtime" I think the thing that I liked about this item was just how succinct it was. We all struggle with commas. Who doesn't? It was compact and gave good examples of comma usage and it was just enough that it would hold a reader's attention span (considering our spans are rather short these) and pique enough curiosity that one might explore more. |
