2 Favorite Blog Posts

My two favorite blog posts out of everyone on the list had to be Gabby's and Eliza's. In Gabby's post about social issues in Glass by Ellen Hopkins, I really enjoyed how she goes deeper into the story than what's just written in the book. She makes a lot of inferences and backs them up well with elaboration and textual evidence. Another thing I liked about Gabby's post was how she took different elements of her main idea and broke them up into different sections of the post, instead of just cramming them into one big paragraph. This made it a lot easier for a reader to follow and understand. In Eliza's post, I really like how she analyzes the two characters and compare-and-contrasts them. It really shows that she has a true understanding of each individual character. I also like how Eliza asks questions at the end of the post. I admire the fact that she really wants to make a connection with the reader.

In my future blog posts, I definitely will make some changes, and take pointers from these blogs. I'm going to make sure to have textual evidence at all times, and maybe even include some quotes, like Gabby. I'll elaborate with much detail but make sure to get to the point and not go off topic. To improve my blog posts I'll also try and take little pieces of the book that I'm reading (like two specific chraracters) and compare and contrast them, instead of just doing a review-like post on the whole book, like Eliza. I'll also maybe even ask questions at the end of the post about what the reader thinks.
