So far, I made some changes. First of all, I changed my option from option2 to option1. I couldn't find the best blog the fit on my essay and I was just wonder around my blog and realize it was kinda fit in with my essay so gave a shot. Maybe the reader for my reader's review may got confused on that ,,,(sorry). It's only three pages long so far but I think I can make it long as times go by.
I'm not sure I'm at right on the point on my essay, feels like I'm writing about different thesis or topic ..... (Hope not !!). My focus is what type of blog I have or blogger am I. Tried to find my one identity.

My plan for Essay 2
My planing to compare my article writer's experiences and my experiences with the blog. Also I need to analyse "what is blog" more deeper to make more argument and explanation. But I'm struggling with choosing a blog and understanding the articles and plot for the essay well enough.

The Essay 2 and Article
On school library database, I was able to fine the article that might help on writing my Essay 2.
The article is: " Understanding class blogs as a tool for language development" by Doris de Almeida Soares. The author was a teacher for the EFL students in a language school in Brazil and while he(or she) teaching those students, he got the two major questions; "a) did my students see our blog as a learning tool? and b) what was blogging like in other language teaching contexts?" This article starts off from the brief history of blog and all the way to answer those two questions. And the articles are based on his(or her) experiences with blogs and the students he had.
I'm going to focus more on the article about first question to identify the blog and the writer of blog. And this article is talking about usage of blog that we are doing in class right now so I thought it would be make me little easier.

Essay 2
For this Essay 2, arguing with West, I want to combine option 1 and option 2. I'm not sure I am allow to do this. The prompt of this essay says "you will join the conversation by developing an argument in response to West", so I guess I am going to go against her idea to make conversation. I got a quite few ideas and looks like I can do better job on this then Essay 1(I hope).
That was my plan about this essay but since I can't fine any article about "blog actually doesn't help on English class" I have to change my mine. I'm going to look for the true meaning of the blog and classes.

* I was not able to get in to Helping hand out: 3 step Quotation Analysis. It says "You do not have permission to access this workspace."
According to Wes't article "Weblogs and literary response: Socially situated identities and hybrid social languages in English class blogs", the teacher, West, was trying to engage the literature with blogging by making students more interested. She said there no formal way or and rules about writing articles on the blogs. But from my experiences, I can't write informal articles because the thought of the fact that teacher is going to see the article and will give a bad grade on it.
And as I read though this journal, it was more like teacher was not focusing on the class matter (like the reading journal they have to do about Crucible), but focusing more on the identities of the students. And this whole process may apply on the students who are actually knows and interested on the blog. Because of the literature's tedium(it doesn't mean i'm bored of it !!!), it may leads up to the thought of "Blog is boring" to some other students.
Still, she says the blog shows people can see the direct identity through the blogs. And West divided the identity of her students to two big chunk, “serious literature students” and “Webliterate communicators". According to West's data, thorough the digital langues on blog, most of students uses the good terms of literary response in these entries.
I was surprised that teacher actually got the result she expected from the blog entires with digital languages. I wish I am doing right things right now !!

What did I learn from my Essay 1
There is one thing I learned is ..... I suck at writing !!!!
ANYWAY ~
I'd like to write my essay from brainstorm then draft, another draft, and more draft, any maybe final if I have to....
And for my writing habit, I love to write my paper at late in the night, like 2-4 a.m. after I take a nap. so ... basically I sleep right after dinner and wake up at like 1 or 2 o'clock and start writing. I just like to write when it's quite around me.
For my writing, I like the writing conference we had with group and Riki. I got the idea that I was on right track. I think that's the one helped me most!!

The writing processes ...
We started from looking for blog which is going to be our resource through out the essay. Based on the research we did presentation of how far we are on paper. And combine all together to write first draft!!
The whole processes of this essay was very organized and step by step. I liked it because I was actually able to follow the orders. I think looking for right blog was hardest part of the whole essay maybe because it was the beginning process of the essay. Presentation went okay with me but I was very short on writing draft(include the very first one). Didn't have enough time to write an essay since I am very slow starter. I just wish we had more times and would've write way better essay.

They say, I say
This book was talking about a lot of arguments. Like templates I saw in the book so I can use those templates so make my arguments better in my paper. And it also helped me how other are thinking and going to count back at me with my paper which means I can see the other people's point of view. I think other people's point of views are really important since others are the one who read my paper.
I kinda want to see someone who can write counter paper on my essay.
