Take Chris's post, for example. You'll see you don't have to like the book to write an interesting book critique. Do you like romance novels? Check out Olga's post about Of Poseidon. Though she says the book isn't as bad as she makes it sound, she doesn't like the predictable pattern many romance novels take.
There are so many ways you could analyze your book choice. MaKenzie focused on the author's writing style and poetry mentioned in the storyline. You'll benefit not only by finding reading ideas but also interesting ways to analyze. Tori analyzes character in her post about Breaking Beautiful, while Noah considers Patterson's storyline, and Sydney writes about Hopkins's style.
There are many other good responses. Please read through all of the reading responses and make meaningful comments on those that speak to you - at least ten. If you see a post with no comments, please respond to it so that no one is left out!
Looking ahead, don't forget that writer's notebooks (#2) are due Friday, September 19th at the beginning of class. Don't fall behind. After the next Friday (the 26th), it is too late to earn credit on writer's notebook # 1. In other words, late work won't be accepted after the next Friday! Our next reading response is due next Friday, September 26th. If you have still not posted your first reading response, you must print out a copy of your post as well as uploading your post to the blog. You have until the next Friday to earn late credit for your late post, but after then, it will be too late to redeem points for your work!
Happy writing, reading, and blogging!
