Omar, you really seemed like you got alot out of this project. I would have liked some more development of many of your posts, but your genres were really strong and the concept behind all of genre choices.
I appreciated your honesty and would love for you to really proofread your work.

Reflection
At the start of the project i was lost. I mean beyond lost. The subject that i wanted to was to confusing. Well not confusing but the way i wanted to use was confusing. At the end i decided to do a comparison blog about The Crucible and McCarthyism. The idea relay didn't interest me, I'm sure there are many blogs with the same subject. But when i got deeper into the two major topics it started to drag me in. The poetry that was done about the two subject comparing them really got me, the books published about the topics individually, and the class of people that where involved and how they had something in common. All the themes that i did just compared and contrasted the two major topics. The people that where involved, who where affected, in what way, and what the people did to kind of stop the ideas of communism and witchcraft. The genres that i picked really appealed to me because one i haven't done them in the past and two they really interested me and i think the information that i gathered really combines well with the genres. Their is one thing that bothers me. I information really didn't help me. It was a repetition of the same thing just in different book's or websites. I think that i repeat myself a lot in the blog. But that might only be me. I had some fun doing it, it was my first blog done.
Procces Statement
1. Selecting a topic that interested me and was not going to be boring to the people.
2. Looking up information about my subject which was the comparison of the Crucible by Arthur Miller and McCarthyism.
3. After gathering the information that i needed, trying to pick genres that could show my work effectively.
4. Getting more information due to the fact that the only comparison was that they effected people that where involved in the matter.
5. Looking at other people's blog to see what they have done, how they used their information to make it stand out with the genre they combined it with.
6. Combining the genre's with the information. Trying to make it stand out and not make it look like the same info was repeated 100 times.
7. Read over. Making sure there are no typos and to see how i can make the blog posts more interesting the reader.

Cartoon analysis
(Picture by the Catechetical Guild Educational Society of St. Paul, Minnesota in 1947).
The picture displays people going against each other. Policemen grabbing people that are innocent to a crime they haven't committed. How America is under communism. Because of the believe that communism is in America people in the United States will go against each other every day until American notice's the mistake they have done and stop when many liefs have been taken away or hearten because of this.

The lower list demonstrates the people that where either killed believed to be witches or some what tied up in witchcraft. As one can see the 2 lists have a large number of names. And the list is even larger for those people that where tied close together with the accused or executed.

Diary Entry: McCarthy
September 10 1951
Dear Diary
I have made all my accusations and none of them seem to present the problem of communism in the way i want. I know some people in the United States are communists. I know my accusations aren't bogus. I can only question why people are so against this. Writers, and actors. How can they question me for something that they are doing. It's not my fault they are involved in communism. If they are suspected in being communists they have to prove to me and people why they aren't. Communism is something that has been around now for a couple of year's, we couldn't avoid this for ever. One way or another these people have to confront us and tell us why and how they aren't communists. All this writing, protesting is bogus. Comparing this to past occasions in the history. All of this is to hide the real problem. To hide that they are real communists and they are destroying America by influencing young people into believing in communism.
