Madison commented on the post, The Power of an Evolving Language
Maggie,
I am very intrigued by your post, especially because of the clear and informative way you described the power of language and its effect on the modern world. The way you organized your paragraphs, transitioning from old language to new language—new in a more modern sense—was very captivating.
One thing you said that really stood out…Read More

Madison, I love the way you constructed your post about pilgrimage. Your diction was sophisticated and clear and the way you broke up the paragraphs made it easy for the reader to follow. I especially enjoyed your use of imagery in the first paragraph and would love to read more in the future!

Dear Madison,
I am intrigued by your post because of the equally clear and unique way you described pilgrimage and its relation to time. Your thought process was well organized and enjoyable to read, even more so in how your personal language flowed through.One thing you said that stands out for me is: “The benefits of pilgrimages have not diminished since the beginning of its origin, and they are the perfect chance of rediscovery and the release of old, weightful mindsets.” I think this is a beautiful concept because the juxtaposition of origin with old, weightful mindsets has a particular and fitting sound to it. I think it also supports the essence of modern pilgrimage that you portray as well.
Your post reminds me of a walk one might take alone in the early hours of the morning or in a place where no one else resides. There is a release of the things wound inside of you and a renewed feeling of connection with the atmosphere. A simple walk may not always qualify as a pilgrimage, but I think it’s an essential version that people make when they don’t perhaps have time for a proper journey of rediscovery.
Thank you for your project. I look forward to seeing what you write next because your work has a lovely sense of understanding in its voice. I’d love to read more!

Madison commented on the post, The Unknown Power Of Music
Dear Osiris,
This post almost immediately caught my eye, especially because listening to music and enjoying it is such a huge part of my life. Though I don’t play any instruments or sing, listening to music—on the way to school, during long homework sprints, and as I fall asleep—is an aspect of my life that increases my general mood. I agree…Read More

Madison commented on the post, Is Social Media Bad?
Dear Cristian,
I really liked the points you brought up in this post, and I do agree with some of them. As almost all things in life have, there are two sides to a story, and often there are both negative and positive connotations associated to social media specifically. I really like how you said, “I feel like the social media community w…Read More

Dear Seth,
Your post “How can students stay more energized throughout the day?” was a really interesting read, especially because losing energy levels, in the midst of a pandemic, is a common occurrence for most students these days. The title immediately caught my eye, as a student myself, keeping up my own energy levels and staying on task is…Read More

Hi Madison! I just have to say that i love your writing. The imagery and movement of it is just so lovely to read and i really enjoyed it. I agree with all of your points, and while it was small, the observation that changing just one word can change everything is just the perfect way to express how powerful language can be. I also love the inclusion of Fahrenheit 451, which I hadn’t even thought of, who’s whole purpose is showing that language is so powerful that people who cant control it will do anything to Stop it. I really enjoyed this piece. It really made me think. Can wait to read what you write in the future!
