For this weeks blog no immediate thoughts jumped into my mind about what to write about, so I decided to visit one of the websites from the 'Blog & Notebook' Handout Mr. Burke gave us. I decided to visit indexed.com. I came across this index card drawing (to the left) and it reminded me of the discussion we had in class regarding the poem of the week, "The Voice You Hear When You Read Silently" by Thomas Lux. The poem talked about the inner voice of a person and how each individual perceives a word in a different way. The author is saying that people learn through experiences and this gained knowledge varies from person to person. I think this index card is saying the more you pay attention, the more you learn as students. This concept is related to the fact that the more you know, the more you can relate to and enjoy a written work. Both Thomas Lux from the poem "The Voice You Hear When You Read Silently" and the index card drawing encourage people to gain knowledge through paying attention and experience, so they can form connections with words and be successful in life.
