Amazazing Blogz

Economic Advice to Obama
Paul
I feel that Pauls economic advise to Obama was interesting to read and that it wasn't boring. He used evdence that I think was interesting to hear, for example he lists what John Thain bought for his office that cost him $1.2 million dollars to remodel.

"According to CNBC the former CEO of Merril Lynch, John Thain, spent over 1.2 million dollars of bailout money on personal items around his office including “ An Area Rug, Mahogany Pedestal Table,19th Century Credenza, Pendant Light Furniture, 4 Pairs of Curtains, Pair of Guest Chairs, George IV Chair, 6 Wall Sconces, Parchment Waste Can, Roman Shade Fabric, Roman Shades, Coffee Table, Commode on Legs.”

He also used historical evidence that fit in perfect with which he was trying to explain to Obama.


Literary Analysis
Ashley
I think that Ashley's literary analysis blog is good because she lists her evidence. She also has in depth details as to why she thinks this specific literary device is found in the book.
However you do get the inside scoop on every other character and see them as she sees them.One example would be in a paragraph where esther lays out the tension between Doreen and Betsy she quickly states "Betsy was always asking me to do things with her and the other girls as if she were trying to save me in some way. She never asked Doreen" in the following paragraph Betsy asks Esther to join her cab, and esther declines because she knows how doreen feels about it.
Historical Writing
I think that Vanessa in her writing it seems like shes talking to you one on one through her writing thats why I like it. She also cites her sources. She also compares history to present times and sometimes other parts of history to other parts of history.
Organization
I know it may sound weird but my pet peeve with blogs is that they are sloppy. I think that Nyachare does a good job of keeping her writing organized.
For this blog she lists the question and has her answer.
