Analyzing Analyzing

What should I analyze today? Hmmm…….dogs, cats, computers, manicures, mars…I’m not getting anywhere. How about I analyze Analyzing? Why do we analyze? What makes people think about things in detail? I think that analyzing is a human’s way of understanding and learning. When someone watches a movie what do they see? Do they just see the storyline, the characters, and the scenery? No, what usually happens is that somebody will see the introduction, the climax, the happily ever after, the actors, the setting, the special effects and much more. It is easy to look at something, but when you really look at something and see the hidden information, that is when the learning begins. And, I think that is why Mr. Rich had us analyze one thing once a week. It is more than learning how to write paragraphs with an introduction, concrete detail, and commentary. It is learning about the world around us. Every time I analyzed something I had to think deeper and try to make an interesting story. We are all investigative journalists. Searching for something new and understanding how it applies to everyday lives. I guess blog writing isn’t so bad after all.
