Welcome to the AWT1002 Fall 2015 Semester blog site! Each week, I will post a blog prompt during your MML period (every Wednesday in the Building 10 MML). You must write a response to the prompt in the "Comments" section of the blog prompt. I expect you to use your MML class period to respond to the blog prompt (although you may finish your blog post for homework). The intention of this blog site is to encourage creative writing and creative thinking. However, I still expect you to use academic writing in your post, such as correct capitalization, punctuation, and vocabulary. You blog posts should be a paragraph (8-10 sentences) minimum length.

Blog prompt:  First, click on this link and take Buzzfeed's "What's Your Spirit Animal" quiz. After to take the quiz, read the results of the quiz.

Then, write a blog post (1 paragraph, 8-10 sentences) telling me if you agree or disagree with the results of the quiz. Do you think you are like your spirit animal?  Do you think your spirit animal is something different?  Explain your reasons with your opinions or experiences. How are you like the characteristics of your spirit animal and how are you different?

  1. I don’t totally agree with what the test result said. On the one hand I believe that people do like to be around me, since it is easy for me to make friends. I also think that I may sometimes light up the room, but not as the test said. On the other hand, kitties are cute and playful, and I don’t think that it applies to me. I’m not always kind and cheerful as the kitties. I’m aggressive and harsh. And sometimes I can really be cold hearted. And for that matter I only partly agree with the test’s result.

  2. I got the Shiba Inu. It’s very curious about the way things work. It’s very friendly and loyal. I think that this animal spirit fits me. I agree with this choice because I never betrayed someone. Also the Shiba Inu has a smile on everything. I always smile or at least I try to. So I think that the Shiba Inu is my animal spirit.

  3. My spirit animal is just like me. I got a very cute Kitty. It is said that people love to be around it, like my friends and family love to be around me, talk to me, and have fun with me. The kitty needs a lot of attention and love. I can’t live without the attention of my parents as my spirit animal. I need to feel the love and protection of people around me. I’m always surrounded by my friends, I’m very sociable and I get along with everyone. I’m generally calm and lovely, as long as you stay away from my claws. There is another thing common between me and the kitty and it is that I adore drinking milk. So yes, I totally agree with the result of that test, the kitty is obviously my spirit animal.

  4. For my spirit animal I’ve got a “Shiba Inu” which is a Japanese dog. In japan they say that this dog is very special and that his not only a dog quarter dog, quarter human, quarter cat and a quarter monkey. It’s also known for his loyalty, very attentiveness and awakens, which I think it applies for me too. Also, they said that I’m friendly which is true. I deal with everyone, talk with everyone without judging anyone or hurting anyone. For me, the quiz has quiet define who I’m, but no one can ever now who truly I’m …

  6. well yes i do agree with this quiz because it describes me in a good way. Plus, i think i am like my spirit animal ' a very cute kitty '. It's true that i do like being around peoples and same for them. Also, i'm honest and nice to people who are nice to me. It's true that i love saturday parties and short dresses for the night. I have many good friends that have the same spirit animal. On the other hand , i do have a lot of haters too as the quiz say ' they are so allergic to my charm'. in the end, i think this is the best spirit animal for me.

  7. I guet the hedgehog
    The quiz reveal that I am Intelligent, fast, and lovable, but sometimes people keep far from me because I am sharp too sharp.
    Maybe it’s real I am quick on my feet, quick witted but usually bitter for maintain the distance between me and the strangers.

  8. For my spirit animal, I've got The Sloth who is just like me. It's true that I am as cool as a cucumber. Also, I love to go with the flow. It's true that my favorite activities are eating, sleeping and eating again. I don't think that I have friends that have the same spirit animal. Otherwise, as the quiz said, eating and sleeping are my favorite activities. I totally agree with the quiz because the spirit animal has the characteristics as mine. Finally, my rap name is Sir Naps-a-Lot.

  9. For my spirit animal , I've got a Shiba Inu, the japanese dog. It is an honor to have received this animal as a spiritual animal, because he is loyal and friendly , and the fact that I am a very curious and active person is true. I love to discuss and discover new things , but I also know how to be calm when I need it. About the loyalty and friendship, I hope it's true :D I hate to be betrayed so I am not doing it to others. And I always smile , even if sometimes the situation does not lend to smile. So YES :D I am happy because I had the Shiba Inu, because it's an animal version of me :)

  12. After taking the quiz and choosing the answers that are totally true about me, it turned out that my spirit animal is “a very cute kitty.” It actually makes sense because I love cats so much. I have a cat back home that I’m so close and connected to since I was fifteen years old. When I moved to AUI, I found it so hard to get used to the fact that my cat isn’t with me. My result was about how people love being around me. I totally agree, because I love being around people too. I hate feeling lonely, that’s why I’m always between people who love me. Furthermore, this answer has many things in common.

  13. For my spirit animal, I got the Shiba Inu. Which I think describes me perfectly. I’m always smiling to people, trying to give them hope and helping whoever comes in my way. I’m as friendly as I can with anyone. I try to understand how every single thing works around me, to the point that I sometime understand more than I should. The fact is I sometimes overthink because of my curiousness. I’m friendly with people and really fun when people get to know me more. The misspelling fact is not true, I don’t specially think I have a misspelling problem. To sum up, The Shiba Inu is whitout a doubt my spirit animal, except for the misspelling fact.

  14. I got the Honey Badger. It’s really surprising that this animal is actually the fearless one. I do agree with the result of the quiz because nothing really scares me. But, I’m not as though as the honey badger is. I do have feelings and I’m very sociable. I like meeting new people and discovering new cultures. Actually, I find it exciting because you learn something new every day. For me, the quiz defined me partially.

  15. After taking the test ,and see the result I think that there no relation between me and this animal. The result of the test show that my spirit animal is the honey badger . Personally , I think that there is no relation between me and any animal . Furthermore, the test was so weird because we can't know your spiritual animal by asking about: songs, food , high school , and love . That's why I think that is the most stupid test I had take it in my life. Moreover , it will be more interesting if they ask logic question like your habits . to sum up, I totally disagree with the stupid result of the test .

  17. After taking a spiritual animal quiz, I got a very cute kitty. I agree with this result because I am very kind and friendly. People are always talking to me I make them laugh, and they enjoy their time with me.My friends always tell me that I’m cute and that I look like a baby. Sometimes I get tensions with people but it doesn’t mean that I’m aggressive .I jute normally defend myself like cute kitties. I am loved by almost every person I meet but it doesn’t mean that everyone loves me .To sum up, I love kitties and like everyone I know, I have lot of things in common with little kitties.

  18. My character don’t coincide with the description of my spirit animal, which is supposed to be the Honey Badger. First of all, I don’t consider myself a though person. I’m very sensitive person, who can easily feel attacked and be crumbled by the comments of persons that do matter to me. However, I may agree with the fact that I AM IN CHARGE. That is, I am confident in what I do. Furthermore, negative comments seem nonsense to me. I like and accept constructive comments, but I don't even take the time to think about rumors or non-founded critics. The last thing that I don't agree with is the affirmation that "What Is Your Spirit Animal?" quiz make, regarding that "Everyone better bow". I wouldn't like to make people feel that way, because I don't like that kind of hierarchic respect. I believe that nobody has to feel the need to bow to anyone, respect can be expressed in other more friendly ways. To sum up, the only thing with which I agree is that I am confident in what I do, but not to the point that I seek other's respect and affirmation.

  19. I got the sloth . I cant deny that its a very cute animal but its just not 100% me . Yes, I agree that Im a little bit lazy and I love eating , but I absolutely don’t sleep that much , and I have other cool interesting activities besides eating . So somehow, I have to disagree with the result of the quiz because it doesn’t fit with who I am .. If I had to choose an animal , it will be a Lama … Yeah! Its cute ,its Unique and its Rare , Just like I am, Lol. The sloth apparently Has no friends , no social Life and it has a very sad ugly face , that’s totally not me .. so I would go with a Lama instead.

  20. My spirit animal in this quiz is sloth. Sloth is a lazy creature that has no common characteristics with me. I am an active person because I have many activities every day. I play sport, do my homework and hang out with my friends. Furthermore most of my friends say that I am a dynamic, happy and lively person. I am regularly surrounded by family and friends. I totally disagree with the result of this quiz because I have a different personality than my spiritual animal. Finally, I can say that everyone has its own personality which is not similar to another.

  21. I took the test "what is your spirit animal?" and mine is “the slot”. They that he is cool as cucumber and I think that I am cool too and it’s true that i go with the flow. It seems that my favorite activities are eating and sleeping, and eating again. I totally disagree with the fact that I eat a lot because I don t eat anymore from the day that I came to AUI because of time. And I don t agree a lot when they said that I love sleeping because I sleep at least at 1 or 2 am but when I am bored and when there is no thing interesting to do I juste sleep. I think that this spirit animal don’t describe me well apart for the fact that I am cool and that I go with the flow. My rap name is Sir Naps-a-Lot. I don t like it because I don t take a lot of slaps but the opposite. Finally I don’t agree with the animal given to me from this quiz I prefer to have an other animal wich is cool and wich go with the flow but don’t sleep or eat a lot.

  22. When i took the quiz: "what is your spirit animal?" my result was a very cute kitty.I totally agree with that because of the following reasons: a kitty is a very peaceful animal. If it is not irritated it won't scratch you but if you did piss it off you will regret why you thought about doing it. This is kind of close to my personality for example if someone pisses me off i would make his life miserable. Also a kitty is a very indulged animal, it always gets whatever it wants without making any efforts. Another reason that emphasizes why i do agree about the test's result knowing that i am the only child so i always get what i want which is something fun. A kitty cat is an animal that loves playing and being busy doing something fun, so do i. Kitties are known for their intelligence which matches a lot with my personality. Moreover, i love being the cadence of sight; got all eyes on me, so does a kitty. Finally, when a kitty is in the room it brings liveliness to life and i feel like i am that lost peace that completes the puzzle to my family and friends.

  23. I got as a result the sloth and, to be honest, I am really impressed because it matches me perfectly. First, eating and sleeping are really my favorite activities, I just enjoy doing them all day and I actually don’t matter passing my Friday or Saturday night eating pizza in front of a cool movie and get up the next afternoon. so it is kind of obvious that my second name would be miss naps-a-lot .Also, just like the sloth, I am a very lazy person, I hate exercising or do anything that demand a lot of physical effort. I’m a nocturnal person; I do enjoy life more at night than during the day. Let’s add to this the fact that I am an extremely calm and imperturbable person. And yes, I totally go with the flow because I actually find it very tiring to be against the world. Well, to sum up, let just say that if in another world I have been animal, I will be definitely a sloth!

  24. For my spirit animal i got the honey badger. I totally agree with this result. It totally matchs me! They said that he gets his way no matter why, and that's completely me.. I don't care about other's feelings. The thing that i liked the most is that they mention that EVERYONE BETTER BOW . I confirm this !

  26. First, I would love to say that I enjoyed taking the quiz, the questions were funny. I wasn’t really surprised by the test result: I was told that the sloth is my spirit animal. It’s a slow-moving and cute little mammal. I agree being a person who loves taking naps, sleeping, eating delicious meals, and enjoying her time by reading a book in a hammock. However, I must mention that this how it looks like the perfect holidays for me. What’s for the daily routine, I am a completely different person. I wake up every day at 9:00 a.m. and make sure to take a healthy breakfast since I always have a very heavy day. During the day, I am usually a very organized person; I try to manage my time as well as I can. Even though, I get stressed if something didn’t go as I wanted to be. And sometimes I even blame myself for ridiculous things. I usually do sport after my classes in order to stress less: which is not the case of the sloth. To sum up, I 'll be able to say that the sloth is one part of me that doesn't live everyday.

  27. My spirit animal is the Geico camel. Actually, I believe that it truly describes me. Especially, when they said that my enthusiasm for life is only matched by my enthusiasm for yelling about it as loudly as possible. Because unfortunately I express myself by yelling; I yell when I am hungry, tired, or happy. They also said that I’m everybody’s friend. I think that it is true since I have several types of friends. I don’t really care about a person habits or their way of living unless they are doing something very bad, for example drugs. However, I partly disagree when it comes to life of the party because I don’t really like party. The last time I was in a party it was 2 months ago, but I really like to have fun in other ways.

For my spirit animal I've got The Sloth ,the slowest animal in the earth. I think that this test does not make sense at all. I like to play sport and I am very active I have even won some medals at the 100m.

  29. As a result of the “what is your spirit animals?” I got a camel.
    Which means that I has a lot of common points with this animal, it says I’m outgoing, like to attend parties and I’m everybody’s friend. Yes it sure that I’m very sociable, I like to be popular.
    But why a camel ? Sure it’s a very passion animal he can hold everything, can be useful and lovely but one thing is sure, he is not outgoing and don’t have a lot of friends like me. So I totally disagree with the test’s result, my spirit animal mustn’t be a camel but something more interesting .

  30. I totally disagree with the spirit animal that I got as a result. The result was a sloth and it does not describe my personality at all. A sloth is an animal that is very slow. Someone who is described as a sloth is regarded as an extremely lazy person. The result I got also said that I’m as cool as a cucumber. I honestly don’t see anything cool about a cucumber. I mean, yes, it is healthy; but still, many people don’t find it nice to eat. Just like nerds, they study well; but people don’t like to hang out with them. The result also mentioned that all I like to do is eat and sleep. It even named me Sir Naps-a-Lot. I think that’s totally false since I am a very energetic person who doesn’t like to sleep during the day. My life doesn’t revolve only around sleeping and eating; in fact, there are many other factors that play a big role in it such as working hard and exploring new things. Therefore I think that my spirit animal should be a fox since it is a very smart and active animal.

  31. The result of the quiz is a very cute kitty:
    In my point of view,this title is not very appropriate to my personality.
    I think that’s a little bit exaggerated , however I admit that I love to share happiness with other people, especially with my family, friends and people who have difficulties.It’s true that i’m always enthusiastic. I can’t be sure about the fact that people love to be around me, but I’ll be able to say that I love to be around people especially those who are friendly and open minded and share the same interests as me.I’m not the kind of person who pretend to be special,i take the life in a simple way without complication.
    Despite all of this , this quiz can maybe reveal one side of the personality, but it can never show your real personality,it can also help people to know more about themselves and to know as well what others think about them, and how they see them.

  32. The website says that my spirit animal is the Sloth. I think it’s a little bit exagerated but it’s true. I love sleeping and eating . I agree with the fact that i get with the flow, I can make friends everywhere ; I am a sociable person . I love when I make my friends laugh it’s one of my native town qualities. They love being around me I make them comfortable and we enjoy the moments together. Yes I am as cool as a cucumber , I do not get angry easly , I am usually calm and I contol my emotions . One of my favorite activities is Rallye Racing and unfortunately the website didn’t mention that . The web gave me a rap name wich is Sir Naps-a-lot , I love this rap name and I am thinking to produce a song about naps, i love naps. I can’t spend a hole day without having a small nap otherwise I will have a headache. Despite all of this , the Sloth is a very lazy animal and I am not as lazy as him because I am dynamic person.

  33. My spirit animal is a Shiba Inu. It is a very curious dog which loves to discover new things. I agree with that because I always want to know how things work. But this is the only point, I think, that can link me to this animal. However, there are a lot of characteristics that I don’t share with this animal. I’m loyal and friendly with people but I’m not really like this animal. Indeed, this animal is known for being solitary. This dog doesn’t need company. But me, I need to be with someone to be well. And I can’t feel good if I’m alone. So I’m not that independent. Also, I don’t have any fondness for misspelling. Maybe sometimes I write some words with spelling mistakes but in general, my spelling is not catastrophic. To conclude, even if I share some things with this animal, I don’t agree with this, because I think that the Shiba Inu is not my spirit animal.
