Spring Break Post #1 (Good Blog Posts)

One blog post I enjoyed reading was Aidan’s. He wrote about the book “Unwind” by Neal Shusterman. I liked the way he explained each of the three main characters, he started out by telling their background story then saying how they all connect. He also used quotes from the text to explain his thoughts on the characters. This probably helped him understand the point of view of each character in a better sense.
Another blog post I liked was Joyce’s. She summarized one of the many themes in “The Hunger Games” by Suzzane Collins. I thought this post was really good because she compared and contrasted Gale and Peeta. She listed reasons why Katniss would choose either one, but also why she would choose them as well. And she gave clear examples to explain her thoughts.
Some things I can improve on in my blog entries, is I can include more quotations. And I can also find a way to connect with the characters or plot more. I feel that if I find a way to know the character more, their actions will make more sense to me. So it’s a good method to use if you want to fully understand your book.
