Time to meet Percy Bysshe Shelley AKA Alyck is a very informational blog by Chrisy Vo, Jacky Bectholomey, and McKenzie Dewitt. This blog has a nice, simple, clean format that made reading it a breeze. This groups theme was focused on the life of romantic poet, Percy Shelley, and his life's achievements. The most interesting thing that stuck out to me was in Jacky's post, on Shelley's inspiration. It was stated that Percy Shelley was one of the couple poets to play a large role on the second generation of romantic poets. Another interesting thing about Shelley noted was that his last four years of living, were his best and most memorable. In those four years, some of his best poetry was created, due to Shelley getting encouragement from tragic events; for example his son dying, and a massacre occurring. Shelley then wrote about how he was feeling, and came out with great poetry.  Shelley's writing was known to come from deep down inside when something influential but tragic happened, and that's what happened. Evidence of this was included in many of the group member’s blogs.

                I really enjoyed going through this blog, and learning about Percy Shelley. This group involved much information about the poet, as well as pictures, and a video. Someone who didn't know very much on this topic would resource greatly on this specific blog. Not only was there information on Shelley, but also the era of the romantic period. The one picture that stood out to me would be the one where Shelley was sitting in a tree with a book. This struck me as flattering; in most of his pictures, or portraits, Shelley is drawn very similar: young, and beautiful. Throughout this blog, there were many informational posts about this wonderful poet. There was no where I went to not get a better grasp on the romantic poet or era. Each member wrote their posts very well, and I was fond of their mature ideas. It was fun reading about what they had to say, and looking at the wondrous pictures they posted of their theme.
