The first blog post I read was Joyce's, and I really liked it. I like how she made a separate paragraph when she was talking about Peeta, then another when she was talking about Gale. I can really appreciate this post now that I am familiar with the Hunger Games, and I agree with she was pointing out: Gale and Peeta do have different personalities. Joyce's post was very organized, she had an introduction with a thesis and a main idea, and made me feel very engaged in the post. I like how she asked the audience their opinion on the "Team Peeta" and "Team Gale" thing, and also mentioned her opinion. Joyce's blog post is a good model for an extended response essay.
The second blog post I read was Aidan's, and once again, I was very impressed. Aidan's post was definitely a model essay, because it had an introduction with a thesis, three informative body paragraphs, and a conclusion to sum things up. I really liked how he included a brief background about his book Unwind, so I could relate to his main idea better. I also liked how he included character personalities and how they are similar or different from each other.
I need to be more clear in my blog posts, because most of the time I stray off topic from my main idea. I will make them more like essays, just like Joyce and Aidan did. I think I will do more character comparisons, because I will have more to write about. Both Joyce and Aidan's were really good.
