Post 2 Analyzing vs Reflecting

I'm still not really sure what I'm supposed to do with these blog posts. My first instinct was to make them analytical responses, but I don't find those kind of posts to be very enjoyable and I also feel that I am getting sick of doing close analyses all the time. I think this is something I recognized as I was going through the process of writing my final paper for synthesis. I started out with the intention of sticking strictly to a literature review because it was something that was familiar and I knew the guidelines more or less. However, it seems I wanted to be able to incorporate more reflection and personal response as I went along. I think part of this is exiting my comfort zone and exploring a bit more. The fact that this course is evaluated on a pass or fail basis I feel takes away some of the pressure of making sure each post meets some imposed criteria and allows for a little bit more creative risk, which I think I should start to take advantage of.
