Is writing online different than in a notebook? In what ways?
Yes I do think writing online is very different and not for just the obvious reasons like spell check and devices like that but i think it has a whole different element. When I am typing I think of everything with more detail and i have more time to think of what I'm typing.
In what ways did you benefit from the experience?
It has made me think about my books a lot more when i read them because i know i have a blog to do and i think about what I want to write about while I'm reading so it has em pay attention to wayyy more details and just focus a lot more on the book in general. It has also helped me learn about how to write a blog and what makes a blog good and what makes a blog not so good. Overall it has helped me a lot.
Do you think that people are more real online or do we create online personalities that project the best of ourselves? Or something else?
Oh yes. I think a lot of people online creates a different personality because they feel safer behind a computer screen/smart phone or whatever. The worst to me is someone who bully's people online because they know you can't hurt them through Facebook or whatever social network it is.

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
Okay so right now in this book sooooooo many things are going on! I don't even understand everything that is going on! Who is the unknown writer? Who is the mystery black? Is black even a person? They're are so many questions but not enough answers. Thats one very unique part about this book its very confusing but its still an outstanding book. One thing that i think about the main character is that he loves to find out information and he really wants to know as much about his dad as he can.
One example of the main character trying to know as much about his dad as possible is just the pure fact that he searched up every person and address who's name is black. Black is a very popular last name apparently so that must be crazy hard. Then to make matters worse he doesn't go on subways so he has to walk everywhere. I mean he's walking from brooklyn to the bronx!!!
Another example is that he now made a new friend who is trying to find out the information with him. His friends last name is Black and he found him in the search and ended up living in his very own building. Now the man is trying to help him find put information to put this mystery key behind him.
Overall the book is very interesting and confusing so far but I'm very interested to see where all this mystery takes the reader. The author so far is doing an amazing job of keeping me interested in what is going to happen next and now i just want to find out how it ends!!!!

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
I just started reading extremely loud and incredibly close. So far it is a very interesting and well written book. One thing i like about the book so far is how every time i get a thought or idea about what is happening some how the author changes the direction completely and leaves me where I started not knowing a thing and being very confused. Its a very interesting way to go about writing a book and a new way to what I usually read.
One example of how he changes direction is he is describing how the character met Thomas who seems to be a total stranger in the book and then at the end of the chapter it turns out to be the man who cant speak that is giving a point of view in parts of the book. And then that turned out to be the grandfather of the main character which seems to have nothing to do with the plot or the story line what so ever.
Another example is in that same scene it seems like the main character is with Thomas but then it turns out to be a girl named Ana another random character in the book. And that girl turns out to marry Thomas and be the main characters grand mother.
Overall in this book there are just a lot of twists and turns and I'm only up to page 120! i cant wait to see what else happens and how everything random some how comes together
