For my passion blog, I plan to continue writing about books as I did last semester. Each week, I’ll read a book and write a post about my thoughts on the writing, themes and story as well as any real-life connections I observe. If I don’t end up reading (which happened often), my post will instead be about a book I read in the past or a general reading-related topic.
For my civic issues blog, I want to write about different facets of the American identity and how Americans can mediate their differences while finding commonalities. Each post would focus on a single aspect of identity, such as religion, immigration status and partisanship. I would draw from my personal experience and data from outside sources.
