A sentence with a vocab word using the writing style that we've learned.
- I cannot stand such an inequity, as I have the right to do the right thing.
Correction
In Frankenstein, the first four letters and the preface I read weren't mainly about the story: it covered the intention of the writing and background of the narrator. The book starts with an exploration of the narrator and covers a lot of topics through his letters, for example, loneliness, risks taken by discovery of new knowledge, etc. It seems like the letters are foreshadowing what's coming up in the future of this book.

2009/08/24Blog Reading HW 1) Find one blog that is a “regular” person’s post, but you feel could serve as a college essay. Link to it on your page the wiki and explain why (briefly). http://billienyc.blogspot.com/ This blog tells stories—good ones that makes you to actually want to read beyond introductions. Each blog post reflects the writer’s personality and frank opinions. Her life in New York, original poems, and random thoughts give me a vivid image of what kind of person the author is. Her writing style is great, yet her ideas are even greater. I love how she chooses different methods to express her voice: she writes a letter to the readers, create a poem, post pictures with short captions, and use quotes to deliver messages. This blog, as a whole, would serve as a perfect college essay, as it reveals her intelligence, wit, and proactive personality. 2) Find a blog that discusses a topic in-depth in some way that you are interested in. Either comment on their blog, quote them on your blog and link to their blog with a message on theirs that you did so, or some other way of connecting you have. Regardless, link these to your page on the wiki http://dangoor.wordpress.com/2009/03/21/we-now-know-the-virtual-barak-hussein-obama-when-will-the-actual-obama-appear/ I left a comment on the blog post.
3)Find one more blog post of note, link to it on ning, and briefly explain what makes it “good”. http://booksforteens.edublogs.org/2009/04/16/breaking-dawn-by-stephenie-meyer/ Books, books, and more books—Mrs. Marquez’s blog is all about books. By having just a glimpse at her blog, it is quite obvious that she not only reads a lot but also reads a wide range of genres. I particularly enjoyed reading this blog post due to both its subject and its writing style. Unfortunately, its good writing style barely survives through the short introduction. She begins casually: she simply talks to her audience. The opening sentences contain a good sense of humor and questions that directly engage readers.
