What a Square
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
As will be a theme in my posts, I feel that authenticity is a hallmark of good stories (Seriously, I read non-fiction for fun when I was in elementary school). As a result, I jump at opportunities to explain my actions. As a weird personality quirk, I don’t like talking about who I am, but will bore you to death with what I do. Doing so lets me introduce myself without talking about myself, as in the preceding paragraph. My blog title “Almost a Square” is a product of meandering thought processes attempting to connect horror and a connecting ...
What’s in a Name

This is 2 Star writing assignment was to explain my 1940’s characters name. This was easy to do, her name just came to me. Here is my explanation. What’s in a name? I chose the name, Isabelle “Red” McIntosh for odd reasons. My 1940’s character is a librarian who moonlights as a detective/writer. I love the name Isabelle, but then I decided that if she was going to be a detective she needed a cool nick name. Red came to mind because that was a moniker I always liked. The reason I used McIntosh is because it is my ...

Hello, this is my post for the What’s In a Name Writing Assignment on the ds106 website. I always get a look from people after I spell out my first name for them or a comment like “that’s a pretty way to spell it”, but not many people ask why Kayleigh is spelled the way it is. My blog name has parts of my real name incorporated into it. My full name is Kayleigh Ann Barbee. My last name comes from my father’s side of the family and has mixed Irish/Scottish origins while my middle name, Ann, was the middle ...

I'm still not sure if my blog is hooked up to the main page, so I am submitting it on here just in case! Sorry!

This is the “What’s in a Name?” writing assignment that is two points. My given name is a part of the url for this blog. My name is Kassia Rivera. My last name is sort of self explanatory. I’m half-Hispanic (specifically Puerto Rican) on my dad’s side so, I have a Hispanic last name. My first name is a bit more interesting. My name isn’t very common in the United States. It’s origin is Hebrew and it means Pure. It’s more common in places like Poland and the UK. The reason my first name is a name that is very ...
The Title of my Blog isn’t Blog…

For my last writing assignment of the week, I chose “Whats in a Name?“ I am assigned the task of explaining why I named my blog the name I gave it. Surpassing the Dimension of Time is the title of my blog… but why? Thats why. I was so moved by this movie with the message it gave, I actually wrote it down on my iPhone as soon as I thought of it. “Gravity and love are the only two things that can cross the dimension of time.” This is the lesson I learned. I would have made that quote the ...
Figure me out

I named my blog The Music of the Night for many reasons. If you are someone who knows Broadway than you know this is a song in Phantom of the Opera. I have grown up around operas, musicals, and plays my whole life. I liked this name because to me I wanted a name for the blog that described what the blog would be about and what I am about. I love music. If you ask me my favorite kind of music it will be different each day. Music is people expressing themselves. I may never be able to express ...

A great blog will never be looked at if it doesn’t have a great title, just like a great book with a boring title will just be tossed aside. For the “What’s in a name?” assignment, I could either tell about my given name, which is incredibly boring, or tell about my blog name, which is more interesting. My parents gave me my given name, but I created my blog name, so I feel a deeper connection to it. Perhaps this is what parents feel when they name their children. My blog is my baby, and it is time to ...

What’s in a Name? (2 points) Well, since I have already explained the name of my blog in my introduction. I will talk about my given name Lauren Elizabeth. For starters I will say that my name was picked out by my mother years before she had ever even met my father. One of her requirements to getting married was that their first born daughter was to be named Lauren Elizabeth. I was named Lauren after my Great Aunt Laura and my Great Uncle Loran. On a side note, my uncle received his name because he was the fourth son ...
An Unforgettable Name

What’s in a Name? Your name is with you forever. Whether it’s your first or last. It is what people hear first when you introduce yourself. It is on all of your papers, projects, assignments, mail, accounts, job application, and much more. Some people may not like theirs and want to change it others wear it with pride. There are so many times you hear someone say “Oh what was that person’s name at the party” or wherever. When you have one that’s so unique it can make people remember you much easier. There are many Smith’s, Johnson’s, Wilson’s, and ...
