My Favorite Blog Posts

Sean Huze- "The Sandstorm" Blog Post:
This was one of my favorite blog posts because I really loved "The Sandstorm." In this post I was able to reflect on the soldiers in Iraq and the hardships they endure. I have a lot of respect for those men and women who are currently fighting for our freedoms and though that reading this piece brought a whole new perspective to the war. I was intrigued to learn more about war after reading Sean Huze's monologues and had a lot of fun writing my thoughts on it in this blog post. 


Tim O'Brien's- "On The Rainy River" Summary and Analysis Blog Post:
This was one of my favorite posts because I was able to analyze and give a summary about one of Tim O'Brien's stories in "The Things They Carried." I really enjoyed "On a Rainy River," and it was quite possibly one of my favorite stories in the book. This was also a favorite post of mine because it was the start to my analyzing of stories. I had never done it previous to this class and it made it a much easier lesson to grasp by doing it in little steps and especially doing it through blog posts. 


Good Readers and Good Writers Blog Post:
Lastly, this is one of my favorite blog posts because it was a great way to start our blogs. The article we read by Vladamir Nabokov was a really interesting one. He highlights many points that make a good reader and writer. We were really able to be creative with this post and I picked a picture that I believe expressed a vast imagination which is one point I found valuable in the reading. This was the start to blogging which is the primary reason it is one of my favorites. It's cool to see how much my posts have improved since this first one.
