Ana Forsythe's Blog.
The reason I like this quote was because Ana did an amazing job condensing her writing. In that short paragraph, she included the issue, supporting evidence, its connections to a historical event, and state a plan to fix it. Right after she even included a graph to support her claims.

"An issue that resonates in my mind and in the minds of other Americans, is the struggle to hold a job and steering clear of unemployment. So many have already been affected by this and America knows it far too well, as it is embedded in one of the darkest periods of our country's history. The Great Depression brought hardships upon millions of Americans, sounding very similar to the hardships of today. "By 1932 the unemployment rate had soared past 20 percent. Thousands of banks and businesses had failed." Currently, with our unemployment rate at 7.6 percent, we cannot afford to let it rise any further and rise to the point of the 1930's. A piece of advice for you would be to focus on creating more jobs for Americans. The new jobs should be structured to build upon advances in technology. It sounds like this is already woven into your plan, so I think it should be implemented as soon as possible."

Sydney Lampe's Blog.
"Through his detailed and descriptive writing, John Steinbeck uses imagery to show you what is going on in the book. In the first part of this story, "the gift," the setting of the story is displayed using description. "The cowpumkpins were green and small yet. He went on to the sagebrush line where the cold spring ran out of its pipe and fell into a round wooden tub. He leaned over and drank close to the green mossy wood where the water tasted best ( Page 6.)" In sentences like these, John Steinbeck provides words that appeal to the senses. Instead of saying vague sentences, such as, He drank the best water, John Steinbeck provides background knowledge of the area without using filler words."
The reason why I found this a good example of literary analysis was because Sydney was really precise and to the point. When talking about Steinbeck's detailed and descriptive writing, she provided an example to support it. Not only that but she even gave an example of what it would the same sentence sound like if he wasn't descriptive or detailed.
Esther Ballesteros' Blog.

"The depression of 1893 according to the book Nation of Nations was "the deepest the nation had yet experienced." A lot of companies and banks were failing at this time, this was a hard time for people all over for the companies, and the people who worked in those companies. When people saw that the economy was crashing they all panicked and they started taking out all of their money from the banks, which was one of the things that caused the bank failures. Something else that happened was that "A quarter of the nation's railroads went bankrupt." All of this was very bad for the economy "in total over 15,000 companies and 500 banks failed." The unemployment was very high in these times according to the Nation of Nations book " by August 1893 unemployment stood at 1 million; by the middle of 1894, it was at 3 million."
The reason why I found this a great example of historical writing is because Esther was able to relate everything she said back to the novel "Nation of Nations". She had a whole bunch of supporting facts straight from the book which made it nice to reference back to.
Jacob Harris' Blog.
"while I was waiting, I noticed an interesting group of people. They were tourists from Germany, and it was fascinating trying to piece together what they were talking about, especially when they brought out beef jerky (which none of them have ever had before). Then I got home, went to Souplantation, and sat down to write this blog. I am now ending this blog, and will go on with my life until thursday, when my next blog will be due. Good Night."
The reason why I found that to be an example of what makes a blog great was because it was humorous. In his blog, Jacob is telling the story of his first day of internship. I really found it interesting because he was so detailed about the whole experience even when he was out of his internship site. He kept me captivated because his writing was so funny and entertaining. Keeping the reader's attention is what made the blog great.
