Blog Review

I read Natasha’s blog post on “13 little envelopes” and I loved it. She gives a wonderful summery at the beginning of the post that shares a bit of her opinion but is also very informative and really sells the book. Although I have not read the book, reading her post, has interested me and made me want to read it in the future.
I found it very interesting how she wove craft and opinion together. Throughout her post, she expresses her opinions and then explains her thoughts through quotes and elaboration. This in my opinion, makes the post more personal to her and her ideas. She also explained what she thought what was done well and what could have been done better and made it clear why she thought so.
Out of all of Natasha’s blog posts that I have read, I think that this one really stands out. I think this because she really shares her opinions, which makes the post more relatable and engaging. I think she also discusses and includes the plot of the story in a way that helps the reader understand what she is talking about even if they haven’t read the book. By doing this, she helps the reader connect and understand what is being said.
I really like how this post is written because she stayed on track in all her paragraphs and didn’t stray from her main ideas.  I also like how she connected all of her paragraphs to each other, by doing this, she made her post more organized and well structured. I think her post is extremely engaging and interesting because she informs you about the book it self and its plot as well as her feelings and impressions toward it. In the future, I hope to try to connect my opinions to the book more clearly and obviously like what is done in this post.

  2. Chloe, in this blog post you did a great job of summing up the essence of Natasha's blog. When I saw that you read this, I went and read it. I agree with you about how well Natasha did on explaining her opinion. You also give a bit of feedback for Natasha, in a non-negative way, which is very thoughtful. Your paragraphs are really strong and supported well with details from Natasha's post.
    Great job, Chloe!

  3. I haven't read 13 little envelopes or Natasha's blog post, but I don't feel like I have read anything. You have a good core, but I feel that you need more substance. You explain what she does, but not with examples. This is a good base, but I fell that to make it better, you should use some examples and be more specific.
