Reflection

After researching the apocalypse more thoroughly and collecting data and facts about it , I believe I have gained more knowledge and understanding on it and I might have even gotten a little more interested in it.
I originally chose this topic because I was very interested in learning how the world would end according to the bible, mostly because I am a religious person. Before starting my blog I had only read bits and parts of the apocalypse, but had not read it completely. I knew the earth would have to face many calamities, but that was about it. When I finally chose the apocalypse as my topic I had to read the entire book and take more time to ponder what each symbol might represent. After reading the apocalypse I realized was going to be a very hard topic to research, but I was very interested on knowing more about it. As I had predicted the research was definately difficult. It was hard to find a website dedicated exclusively to the apocalypse because most of them were dedicated to the whole book of the Bible so it would only give a short summarizing paragraph about the apocalypse. The current affairs blog however was a different story. It was not as much of a struggle to find recent news associated to the apocalypse as it was to find a decent website. It was surprising to find out how closely related many events are to the events stated in the bible. Even more surprising however, was to learn that quite a few other people around her (besides my family) believed in the apocalypse. From the survey I took I learned that other teens are also somewhat religious and believe that all the events mentioned in the apocalypse will occur eventually. I really enjoyed finding and learning all this new info, it was very engrossing.
Overall I have greatly enjoyed researching the apocalypse especially since I would have done this even if it wasn't required for school and now I'm getting credit for it. Undoubtedly I have learned a lot with this research blog and I hope to keep learning more on this intriguing topic.
