Good Blogs

Economic Advice:
I chose Jacob's blog because he has very good advice that he gives to Barack Obama. He especially made a really good point when he started talking about college and how it should be cheaper. This is what he said exactly:"Lower the price of College and Universities, but make the requirements higher, so to support higher education on a lower budget. This will help the economy because it will make the workforce and the high ups more educated, which leads to better financial choices and hopefully some good innovation, something we lack and the Japanese exceed at (probably because of Saturday school)." That is an extremely good point.

Literary analysis:
I chose Diana's blog because her writing was extremely straight forward, and what she is explaining goes with the evidence she chose. She said: "Or what Nana said to Mariam when she was a child that “Like a compass needle that points north, a man’s accusing finger always finds a woman.” (page 7) That quote can be seen repeated all throughout the novel because of women segregation, and how they could always be found in blame no matter what the situation."

Historical writing:
I choes Aarons blog because of his sentence structure in his blog. He came up with a creative definition for what populism is. He said: "Populism, the response of countless years of farmers being put down whether it be from tariffs, agricultural price drops and loss of land." His creative sentence structure throughout his writing made the essay easy to follow.

Anything else:
I chose Willl's blog because when ever I read his writing, it is as if i am reading a college proffesors writing. His use of vocabulary is crazy, but it work. This is an example of his writing, once you read this you will be convinced that he is one of the best writers in 11th grade. He says: "As you can see above, this famous phrase from FDR's inauguration speech ("the only thing we have to fear...") is a cunning ploy intended to bolster the flagging hope of a nation teetering on the brink of financial collapse. While some may be able to unearth shreds of brilliance or prescience in the speeches of men and women faced with tribulation (like FDR, for instance), under closer inspection these uplifting words are revealed to be meaningless. A speech is nothing but a speech, intended to raise confidence in listeners where otherwise there would be only despair, in order for the speech-giver to garner support (obviously, anyone can give a speech, but I will narrow the field down to presidential speeches). You will be convinced of this by examining the purpose of speeches and their inherent un-trustability in the following paragraphs."
