Outstanding Blogz

Example of good Economic advice to Barack Obama:
Diana Barlow
"So in the declaration, it is made clear that all humans have the civil liberties to learn, so that they can prosper and become the future of America, as it has been meant to be. But how can that be achieved if something so little as money can stand in the way?"
I liked what she had said here because she brings the Declaration into her argument, which clearly is always a good source of evidence. She also keeps the reader thinking with a question at the end of the sentence.

Example of good Literary Analysis:
Ana Forsythe
"Coelho gave his writing style variety by using allegory in both small and big ways. For instance, in the very beginning of the book, Santiago travels to talk to "the wisest of the wise men". The wise man tells Santiago to carry a spoon full of oil without spilling it, and look through his house full of treasures, paintings, and marvels of the world."
I thought this was a good example of Literary Analysis because not only does she go into depth in this paragraph, but throughout her whole writing she explains the book very well. Here she explains Coelho's writing and uses an example with a quote. She then goes more into the quote and how it relates.

Example of good Historical Writing:
Evan Lott
"Military ventures played a big role in the 1896 election because both candidates were involved. William Jennings Bryan was an active member of the Anti-Imperialist League. This was Americas first citizen organization that challenged the governments foreign policies. The anti imperialist believed that "nations that sought to control colonial empires inevitably ended up embroiled in bloody wars far from their homes--wars that would eventually lead to the collapse of the empire." Bryan, a representative on behalf of the anti-imperialist argues the point that"imperialist actions are counterproductive for the sucess and health of the United States". He then goes on to make a very good point that "the extentsion of American power to foreign lands does not make sense financially, is illegal under American law and will invevitably lead to war"
I like his writing because he clarify's his writing and goes straight to the point. He includes quotes and evidence which makes is understandable for the reader.

Anything else that makes blogs great:
Esther Ballesteros
I liked Esther's blogs because throughout her writing she leaves the reader thinking with her questions such as, "We are going through some pretty rough times with our economic situation, you have come into office knowing that this very big obstacle would be here in your way, why did you decide to take the spot ?"
Another thing I noticed was how she takes her time and puts a lot of thought into her writing. It's overall well written and a good example of a great blog.
