I commented on Stephanie's post because The title caught my eye. I really like to travel, like to the point where if I stopped traveling I would get depressed. I just find it interesting reading about places people have gone or to see if they have been were I have been or if they want to go were I want to go. I liked the fact that in Europe she had to walk everywhere. I wish North America was more like that. people rely on cars too much. I think It would be awesome to go on a bike trip or go backpacking in the mountains. I noticed that she has been to a few places in Europe and I think she even mentioned Hawaii. I wish everybody was fortunate to go places like that, they sound very interesting. Her post really made me think about how different Europe's culture is compared to ours. I wounder who's if the "American" way of life is how people should live, or if people should be more like Europeans.

This is one of my favourite peices by Jackson Pollock. I always ask myself what I see in this painting, the truth is, there is unlimited amounts of ways to look at this painting. That is what I truely like about abstract paintings, everybody can make there own interpretation of what they see. Its not like looking at a painting of a flower, all you see is a flower, theres no layers to look into no depth, it doesnt make you think about what you are looking at. When you look at this painting you really do have to ask your self what it is you see. You get to use your imagination when desciding what you beleive the painting means. Now look at the painting and make a comment of what you see.

Weekly Reflection #5 (writing reflection)
Writing the newspaper blackout poetry started out poorly for me. I found it difficult to put words together and make them make sense. The more I tried though the better I got.I could visualize the words in the article that would make sense together and relate to each other. It took me about five attempts to make a poem that I liked. Maybe I am just hard on my self, I don't know.
A thing I found unique about this type of writing was that their is no format you need to follow. Most other types of writing have very specific rules and formatting that need to be followed. The only rule for blackout poetry is that it has to make sense. It can be as long or as short as you want. Another thing i found unique was that you don't necessarily read them left to right, you can read them top to bottom or right to left, however the writer directs you to read them. You can organize your blackout poetry how ever you see fit.
While learning how to create blackout poetry I learned a few things about my self as a writer and thinker. I learned that my mind can pick up words that relate to each other, which is critical with blackout poetry. I learned that I like to have to think more about what I'm creating. Most other writing styles I've done such as essays and stories and even the six word memoirs, I didnt have to think to hard about what I was doing because I could use a limitless supply of words. In blackout you only have what ever words are in thaqt specific article. Blackout poetry is probably my favourite type of creative writing so far. I also learned that there is more to writting then basic poetry or essays or short stories. I actually had never done somthing like blackout poetry before so it was new to me.

Blackout poetry
These are pictures of my blackout poetry. the theme of the poetry is Canada and the war. The poem named the war is difficult to read bit this is what it says; it's over nazis, bring the country to a close before one final scream. Competitors over the last few years including Canada and the French have 1.
