Week 11 Blog Reviews

Week 11 Blog Reviews:

Deirdre: I really liked your first blog. My parents often said similar things about toys, or constantly commented on how life is not measured by how many items of clothing I have or the character on my lunchbox. When I was a kid I frequently disagreed but now I see where they were going with the idea. I also really liked your section about Christmas. People do not care about family time or holiday dinners, but rather the best deal they can get on more things for the people around them. I really liked your blog overall!
Your second blog really hit home for me because I wrote about my Polish heritage and relatives. While I liked learning more about this particular ethnic group, I really wish it would have connected more to their lives in America, although you did mention contributions made during the war. Great writing this week! It is always fun to read!

Jess: I really like how you changed your background again! It is always a surprise to see what it will be next! I really liked the title of your first blog, it hit home for me because of my Catholic roots especially. I liked how you incorporated both sides of the issue and stated how you did not know exactly what side of the issue you were on. Overall I thought the support you used on how much Americans purchase as well as personal ideas on the subject made the post really interesting to read.
I also liked your second post about the Armenian race coming to America. I liked all the background you gave on the subject but wish you would have focused on the contributions to the economy more. Great job this week and I cannot wait for the next background!

Lauren: I really liked the title of your first blog. I thought the support you used on the topic was really well put together as well. Materialism in moderation can lead to happiness. It is really important to have a great deal of backup in order to support your points. In your second blog about the contributions the Korean race has given to the American economy was well written too. The statistics and amount of facts regarding their presence in America really supported your topic and overall points you were making. Great job this week! Keep up the great work.
