Outstanding Blogz

What blogs are out there with outstanding examples of:

1. Economic advice to Barack Obama?

I picked Chandlers blog because he had very specific statistics that made the blog clear and straight to the point. He also used many quotes that related to his advice. "America's unemployment rate has rose from 7.2% to 7.6%, as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistic's, January 2009 Employment Situation Summary."

2. Literary Analysis?

The main symbol used through out the novel is the reference to the green light. The green light represents Gatsby's hopes and dreams for the future. Gatsby reaches towards his goal with a guiding light. Gatsby's quest for daisy is similar to the American Dream, the ideal situation. "I realized by some unmistakable sign that an intimate revelation was quivering on the horizon," the green light.

This is a paragraph from Sydney's blog. She is very specific and detailed when witting about the literary devices. She uses quotes from the book to show exact examp0les of literary devices.

3. Historical Writing?

I used Diana's blog from historical writing. The blog that I thought was very good was the "Kennedy and Obama's Connection" blog. She uses a lot of information that is very detailed and she doesn't ramble off to different subjects. She compares Kennedy and Obama's inauguration speech, "John F. Kennedy’s inauguration speech is relevant in modern society because it was abundant with hope, motivation, and change, which continue to inspire even today's generations."

4. Anything else that makes blogs great?
I think what makes a blog GREAT is the effort that the blogger puts into their blog. You can tell who trys and doesn't try. The ones that have images are so much more interesting than the bland ones that are just full of text. Also blogs that have evidence make it a lot more interesting to read because your hearing it straight from the source to make it factual.
