Self Reflection

 In my opinion, some of my blogs do meet the requirements stated by the rubric. All of my blog posts contain images that fit in with whatever my blog is discussing, such as the island of Puerto Rico, all with proper sizing and alignment. As far as following the instructions provided by each blog topic, I do what I can to fully analyze and word everything in a fluid manner. With that, I know that I have some errors in my grammar and spelling but, I try to keep them at a minimum by checking over my post before publishing. Lastly, my list of references is done in a simple manner that attempts to follow MLA format. What I need to focus on more is trying to better my analysis of the sources I use to better flow with the small post I create. 

However, I am confused when it comes to creating a blog. At times, I write with my own words and style, completely forgetting to maintain a formal style. Once I take notice, I'll delete everything and start fresh because I don't know what type of voice I'm supposed to use. 

Personally, I believe that the effort that I put into these assignments and blogs is at a solid 75%. I do have to deal with work and my other classes so I try to give all my classes the attention they require and what is needed of me to complete my assignments. I'll admit that I do procrastinate a good amount, either it's going outside when I have work to do or zoning out on my bed. 

Peer reviewing serves as a way of checking your work for errors that one might not see. Since our posts are made by us, having someone read over can bring attention to areas we might think are in good condition. 

By participating in this class, I have learned that blogs are not just used for simple cooking recipes. Blogging is a way a staying connected with people around that world that share similar topics of interest or it can be a place to share and learn from people's ideas.

Intro to Puerto Rico Research Paper

                                                                   The United States faliure to aid Puerto Rico       Puerto Rico and the United States have had their share of intertwined history. The Americans took over what was once a Spanish colony after a long war and obtained an island that would connect them to the Caribbean islands. Puerto Rico was seen as an economical opportunity for the United States to grant them access to their South American trade partners and serves as a country to support the Caribbean people. However, the United States fails to treat the island of Puerto Rico as one of its own states and provide help to the people that they "sometimes" considered their citizens. In times of crisis, Puerto Rico is unable to support its own economy since they are constantly facing natural disasters and economical issues and seek aid from their controlling nation. But, the U.S. has yet to show that the laws that they established since their control of the island

       So, let's start nice and simple. My name is Jonathan Martinez, I am born and raised here in Georgia. For the most part, I do what almost every other regular person does once they graduate high school. I work 60% of my day and devote the last 40% to school life, not much excitement. But, the only good thing about my life, apart from living with a nice family, being happy at my job, is that I live on a farm or almost a farm. My family and I live with a lot of animals, almost too many to count. People ask me here and there, "What type of animals do you own?" But, really they should be asking what I don't own. That being cows, pigs, rabbits, and fish. Everything else, horses (yes plural), sheep, goats, dogs, chickens, turkeys, pheasants, peacocks, cats, and rats all have a place in our small home. Living with so many animals comes with its perks, you never have to go to a zoo ever again unless you want to see big cats or a hippo, and you can spend an afternoon walk

Chrstopher Columbus and his crew first set sail west of Spain in 1492 in hopes of discoverying a faster and for effiecent trade route to India. However, once the Italian found caught sight of land, it was not what he was looking for. Columbus had came in contact with the continets of North America and South America, landing somewhere near the  Bahamas. After trading with the islands native population and returning back to Spain, Columbus planned another trip in 1493 back to the West and came in contact with the island that we know today as Puerto Rico. The original population of this Caribbean Island were the Tiano people who called the island "Borike," but with the introduction of the Spanish, their population was quickly decreased to the point of near extinction as a result of diseases. Shortly after, Columbus went on to name the island, San Juan Bautista in honor of a the St. John the Baptist. After Columbus came Ponce de Leon, who was also a representative of Spain, to fu
