Wordle

Inspired by our class's analysis of the State of the Union using a word 
cloud and the reflective nature of my most recent post I decided to 
create a Wordle using the text from my blog. The result can be seen 
here:http://www.wordle.net/show/wrdl/3047682/One%2C_Out_of_Many_Blog.
 The Wordle reveals several things to me about my blog. First, some of 
my most used words (question, information, opinion, and story) can be 
grouped into a Communications category. Perhaps this sheds light on how I
 view my blog. My blog has analyzed the way people communicate and has 
also become part of the ongoing human interaction (by sharing opinions, 
stories, information, and questions). Secondly, the Wordle shows the 
historical events which I chose to focus on. 9/11 and slavery stick out 
the most. Besides the fact that we discussed these historical events and
 eras in class, what drove me to comment on them in my blog? It is 
possible that these two key parts of American history have the strongest
 reverberation in my daily life. Remnants of slavery can be seen in 
racial interactions today and the wars and mindsets of Americans are 
reminders of the attacks.Lastly, the Wordle shows that not only what is 
examined but how it is done so. Among the most used words are right, 
wrong, and moral. It's clear that what concerns me most about the 
American society is its ethics. Now what remains to be seen is whether, 
like the speeches of the United States presidents, my blog will undergo a
 shifting of paradigm over the course of time.
