semester 2 blog 5

lynn lee's is a very good piece of writing because her work is very detailed and well written. After reading her interview i now have a much better understanding of how i could have done it

i like Ben Wasserman's blog because his blog tells you exactly how it is. He tells it like it is and isnt afraid of what people will think because of it. I think that is a great thing to have when you write a blog or any piece of writing.

I likeConstance's pictures always look professional. her writing is very straight forward and to the point. Most of her writing is makes meaning early which is a very good thing to have in your writing.

Semester 2 blog 2

Adam McWethy
Adam McWethy is a free thinker and always has been since his days in college. After getting out he work on Wall Street for a while until he broke his knee. He then decided to create a graphic design company with his brother Todd. 7 years later they have been working with several companies either designing their web page or even creating it for them. Adam could be described as a free man because he became his own boss. He is a calm man never raising his voice but if his is unhappy there is a big change in the tone of his voice. Adam is the kind of man you want as a boss he is cool and gives the off a very relaxing environment.

I want to know what else I should add?
What makes this a good piece?
What is something that I need to improve or make stronger?

Semester 2 blog 1

Two links that i found were
Bono: Interview
Britney Spears: Interview


What makes a good interview i think is a mixture of different things, such as information that is relevant to the topic but that doesn't overwhelm the reader with to much to read. The finalized piece must also have some picture to grab the viewers attention so that they aren't bored reading. When writing an interview i think its good to start the interview by giving a little bit of about the person who is being interviewed then maybe add some of the interview questions and answer. What makes these really good is only if the reader is able to understand what the point of the interview was and if they are able to take something from the writing piece.

Honors history 4

1. Discuss your successes as an honors student this past semester.
I have learned to further my writing and i have also learned to write in more detail and in a greater amount.
2. Discuss what you might have done differently if you do this past semester of honors over again.
i would have done a better job on my essays because some of they were rushed and not thought to the full extent of my brainpower.
3. Discuss your goals for honors in the second semester.
Get an A, write better essays and take more notes.
4. If you could choose any parts of literature and history for our honors work, what would you pick and why?
I would choose do the renaissance because i have always wanted to learn about all the bad things that happened to the people back in the day such as the black plague and learn about how people had no rights.
