Best 3 Blogs ( at least that's what i think )

           Malik did a great job expanding on the painting of Starry Night in his poem. He included all the details in it and how he structured the whole thing. Each stanza was a different color than the other and it represented what it described. Like for example in his poem it said something about whirlpools and it was in blue text. It isn't just that the poem is good but he can make a good poem from just looking at the painting.

           I really liked Shadman's response to the poem The Poison Tree. He used the 4 poetry strategy of Observe, Infer, Interpret and Extend. Shadman really unpacked the meaning of each stanza one by one and explained it. What was interesting about his response was that he said what the apple symbolizes in the poem. One thing Shadman does is that he pushes himself to write more then the minimum standards like writing only 3 paragraphs but in mostly all his responses. That is why he deserves to be in the top 3.

           Paulo's blog post are good so far. He keeps a minimum of 3 paragraphs that gives a brief summary, messages, and connections. In this response to the book Be More Chill he connects it to a poem we read and  I found that interesting. Both the book and poem were similar in a way because of how both people felt about their personality. That was a good connection and I would have never thought of that.
