The Top 5 Comments I've Seen in Blogs...

Image
This is a very unorthodox blog post, but I'm in a bit of a "silly" mood right now, and I might as well end the year on a fun note.  Also, comments are a very under looked part of the whole blog post cycle (we weren't mandated to write 4 a month for no reason), and I felt a post needed to be made to compile some of the better comments I've read this year. Hope you enjoy! 5th Place- Samuel Alejandro Troconis Barreto  This is a great example of how blog comments should be. Samuel started off by expressing his shock after reading this review, a great way to let others know how a blog post left you feeling. Samuel then goes on to express how the author of this post (James) took the readers through a journey, first by saying he'd gone through a rollercoaster of emotions, but then doubling down on that claim, and elaborating how the blog post highlighted the more sensitive and emotional start in the beginning of the story, to how it turned into a murder mystery.

A Final Year Ranking- Ava

       As this school year is coming to a close, I'm going to be doing something that I don't normally do. Besides my first blog post, all of my posts have been book reviews. To finish the year off  properly, I am going to rate all of the books that I have reviewed during the school year:     In sixth and last place is The Marlow Murder Club  by Robert Thorogood.

But I was thoroughly disappointed with the amount of plot holes and random "correlations" that were the keys to the mystery. As I was reading this book I believe all I could think of was "blueh bleb esdjafjsaf" as it was also pretty boring!     In fifth place is How It Feels to Float  by Helena Fox. When I read this book, I didn't hate it but I didn't love it. To be honest it was a litt...

Analyzing Noah Kahan Songs

            Alright, I think it is time that I finally attempt the blog post I’ve been thinking about doing since first semester. In this blog I will be discussing the lyrical meaning behind a few of Noah Kahan’s songs. At first I didn’t think I knew enough to actually come up with good analysis, but I think I am now finally ready to do my favorite of his songs some justice. For this analysis I will be looking at Young Blood, Come Over, and All My Love. Just because I think all of their meanings are fairly interesting. I hope you all will enjoy this blog! Young Blood: Possibly my favorite Noah Kahan song. This song is a part of his album Busyhead, so I am doing it first so that the rest of this blog can be dedicated to unpacking Stick Season. I think the title alone gives away the major point of this song. ‘Young Blood’ typically serves as a reference to a young inexperienced person. I believe the song attempts to address the young person and give ...
