Final Blog

            I will utilize this blog post as a way to organize my portfolio. As for my actual portfolio, I am going to also post it on the same blog website and I will write a persuasive essay along with using the media platforms of a blog and a mind map.

The persuasive essay’s purpose is to convince the reader that the wemistikoshiw or white people are responsible for mistreating the Cree and whatever negative impacts come along with it because they did not care about the Cree’s well-being one bit. The white people mistreated all three of the main characters because of their ethnicity. The 1900s had a much more devolved way of thinking and I want to showcase how racism can cause significant events to occur.

The blog post that I am writing will incorporate the different archetypes present within the novel. As I finished the novel I realized more about each character and though it would be best fitting to update my readers on the archetypes I am able to find in the novel. I, especially want to correct Xavier’s archetype along with being able to add onto it.

The concept map will be centered around the concept of feminism. I think feminism is such a powerful and beautiful concept. Feminism is still a cause worth fighting for even to this day. Since this was the most modern issue I could relate to, I felt it would be suited to be explained and elaborated upon through a concept map.

Through this grade 12 English course I have developed so many skills as a writer and media text creator because I have been taught about various literary theories amongst other very important teachings. I was introduced to the postcolonial, feminist, archetypal and reader response literary theories.  I was able to enhance my knowledge of analyzing a poem and story. Also, I was reminded of how to cite sources correctly so that my work is not plagiarism. Also, I was able to gain more knowledge about media outlets such as, the medium being the message. I was able to learn about an intriguing podcast series that is very suspenseful. I feel as though the only challenges of this course were the timeline because a lot of work has to be complete in such a short period of time that it can be overwhelming. However, I was able to learn many things by taking this course.
