“’Fired’ Up for Improvements” was a really artfully written post. You described Chicago with such clarity and emotion! I’ve never been there, but my Grandma grew up just outside Chicago and always raves about how much she loves it too. You did a really nice job of informing and entertaining. Your post had a lot of great information, but it never seemed dull or dry. Your second post “Italian Influence on America” was such an interesting read. That was a really interesting fact about America being based off of an Italian’s name! I thought that, again, you did a great job of presenting strong information in a creative and entertaining way.

Your post “Big Spender” (nice title by the way) used a lot of great information from the reading for support. I especially liked your closing sentence, “Instead of viewing our materialistic habits as something to be ashamed of, we should celebrate the fact that we as a society have the opportunity to express ourselves in so many different ways.” This is such a valid and powerful point! In your second post, “America, a Place of Peace,” brought up a sad but true fact that many people have negative stereotypes of American Indians. I liked how you addressed this unfortunate situation by talking about some of the positive and admirable facets of Native American culture as well. I only wish that you perhaps had talked a little more in depth about a specific tribe or people, just because many tribes bring new and interesting beliefs and points of view to the table. Really nice post!
