This is one of my favorite blog posts because this is when I started to understand the difference and importance to analyze rather than just summarize.  Up until this time I had been summarizing only.  I enjoy analyzing because I can express my thoughts about the text not just retell the author's thoughts.

This was the most fun to post.  I enjoyed reading Swift's proposal.  I believe his thoughts came about over many wasted words on this subject.  He was very frustrated with the current situation. He cleverly thought out his plan to get the most attention he could, even if it was bad attention.

This was my ultimate favorite blog because I enjoyed reading Melville's work very much.  I found his use of words inspiring.  He was a brilliant man that I wish I could have met.  As soon as I have free reading time I'm going to read "Moby Dick".
