Peoples Blogs....

For advice to Barack Obama I chose Ana's blog
here is an excerpt from her blog

An issue that resonates in my mind and in the minds of other Americans, is the struggle to hold a job and steering clear of unemployment. So many have already been affected by this and America knows it far too well, as it is embedded in one of the darkest periods of our country's history. The Great Depression brought hardships upon millions of Americans, sounding very similar to the hardships of today. "By 1932 the unemployment rate had soared past 20 percent. Thousands of banks and businesses had failed." Currently, with our unemployment rate at 7.6 percent, we cannot afford to let it rise any further and rise to the point of the 1930's. A piece of advice for you would be to focus on creating more jobs for Americans. The new jobs should be structured to build upon advances in technology. It sounds like this is already woven into your plan, so I think it should be implemented as soon as possible.

I chose Ana's blog because she gave good advice on how to help the economic situation as well as the people, she talked about current things and also about things in the past that could connect with the topic, she also has very good writing I liked it a lot.


For literary analysis I chose Nyachare's blog

Throughout "The Kite Runner", the antagonist was Assef, often referred to as "blue-eyed Assef" he was known as a savage-thirsty type of man who was evil and put on a show for his parents and those who held his reputation to such high standards. In chapter 5 page 18 there's a quote that refers to him that says, "...he walked the neighborhood like a Khan strolling through his land eager-to-please entourage." His being incuded a two-sided character who was amused by trouble and mischief.

I really like how Nyachare talks about symbolism as a literary device that was used in the book that she read The Kite runner. She takes quotes from the book that show exactly that. i like how she specifically pick out some quotes from the bool where symbolism was shown.


For Historical writing I chose Evan Lott's blog


The populist were their own party, but some of them worked within the democractic party. in the election of 1896 the populists were at a crossroad, stuck between gold and silverites. One populist even said "if we fuse [with the Demorcrats] we are sunk." He then went on to say "if we dont fuse, all the silver men we have will leave us fore the more powerful Democrats. The populist party was going through a rough patch during the election.

I chose Evan's blog because he was able to talk about the things he needed to talk about in his blog, it was very informational, if people didn't know what things were they could learn something about them from his blog. The excerpt from his blog shows this, he talks about some of the main things the populist party was for or against
