What to blog about?

Creativity I've learned is they key to being successful in English 12. To enhance this creativity we have been given the opportunity to state topics that would grab our interest to elaborate on. In my opinion I would like to see a topic that is very open, one that you can let your thoughts wonder where ever you allow them. Personally, I find those topics the most enjoyable. For example a topic being simply "Green" could be quite interesting and I could see myself producing a brilliantly creative blog from such a topic. As suggested in the classroom earlier, I would also like to write on movies, music, and books I love. I find it easiest to write about what you like and share your opinions on your favorite pieces of literature or music. Topic's that are in general just fun and amusing are always encouraged. Anything along those lines makes writing more fun and you can enjoy writing it instead of dreading it. I have found in this class there has been no lack on topics such as these. I say it brings English much more enjoyment then I have been used to having in a regular English class and believe me this is not a normal English class. I have Mrs. Searcy to thank for that.

If I Could Have Any Super Power

Given the opportunity to acquire any super natural power of my desire I would choose invisibility. Now I have come to the conclusion that the ability to become invisible at any instant is far superior to any other power. My reasoning behind this statement is fairly simple. Being able to blend in to your surroundings and frolic around unknowingly in your community would trump anything any other power could do. Some may choose to fly, even have super speed or strength. However invisibility can make those look like a greasy burger with fries compared to an exquisite plate of escargot. The many possibilities of this power are as follows. Take this into consideration if no one could see you, you could board a plane to any destination in the world and not pay a dime. Perhaps your short on cash? Rather then working your butt off at a dead end job that has no benefits, in a flash of a second your invisible. No need to pay for anything. With the incredible advantages to this it does interfere with my morals. Invisibility doesn't need to be used for wrong doing but, it definitely would be a temptation. This power would help when trying to get in a place that you're not allowed to be in. Weather your presence is not welcome or you are just an unknown visitor you could gain any knowledge from the situation by simply just not being seen. These may seem mischievous but everyone is curious and invisibility is the way to fulfil this curiosity. Now if I was able to be given the gift to become invisible I wouldn't rampage around peoples houses and listen to conversations but i would definitely use the power to my advantage.
