Blogging Tips

One blogging tip I have to work on is coming up with better blog titles. My titles for blogs are usually  really boring. I almost never come up with creative blog titles. My titles are always so simple. Choosing a creative blog title can be important because the title is one way that you attract readers. If a blog has a cool titles readers will think that the blog will be interesting to read. Another blogging tip that I should work on is to just try. I need to work on this one because I usually always care what people think about me. Rather it's about what I'm writing or my interests. Trying new things on your blog is important because it helps your readers know more about you as a person.

Where Have You Gone?

One place that I have gone to is New Orleans, Louisiana. One reason I liked New Orleans is because of the music. In the French Quarter there was always music playing. Rather it was a little parade marching down the street to a band sitting on the corner of a sidewalk. Once we were walking along the sidewalk and we saw these two little kids, both younger then 10. They were sitting on a crates and each had two buckets of different sizes in front of them. They each had drum sticks and were playing on the buckets. At first I thought they were just going to make random noises but it sounded so good. Each boy was playing a different beat but somehow the sounds all went together. Another reason why I liked New Orleans is because of th food. New Orleans has foods from all type of cultures.  Some that I heard before some that I haven't. I think my favorite restaurant in New Orleans was called Commanders Palace. The deserts were really good there. These are some reasons why I really liked New Orleans.

Summer Reading Blog

The book I chose is Paper Towns by John Green. So far in the book the main character Quentin Jacobsen also know as "Q" and Maqtgo Spiegelman. Quentin a nerdy dark-haired boy, is in love with a popular blonde haired girl who live across the street. Margo is the type of person who is super rebellious and breaks rules. WhileQuentin on the other hand is a straight A student who never breaks any rules. One day Margo showed up at his window in the middle of the night. Margo asked Quentin to drive her around town while she goes on one of her adventures. Quentin didn't want to seem like the type of person who doesn't like to have fun so he agreed. They went to the houses of people who have betrayed Margo's trust. For example, her ex-boyfriends Jase's house whop cheated on her with one of her best friends, Becca. They vandalized cars, houses, and walls/ They broke in to places all night. The night came to an end and Quentin thought everything would be different at school the next day but he was wrong.
On page 70, it says, "Fine but when SeaWorld Incorporated, or whatever sends a letter to Duke University saying that miscreant Quentin Jacobsen broke into their facility at four-thirty in the morning with a wild-eyed lass at his side, Duke will be, mad. Also, my parents. (Green 70) Thos shows that Quentin really cares about getting into Duke and making his parents proud. While Margo on the other hand does really crazy things without even thinking what her parents will do when they find out, she also couldn't care less about going to an university.
In the text it says, "Everyone's demented with the mania of owning things. All things paper-thin and paper-frail. And all the people, too. I've lived here for eighteen years and I have never had nice in my life come across anyone who cares about anything that matters." (Green 57-58) This detail is important because it shows that Margo isn't just the popular girl everyone thinks she is. Margo cares about a lot of stuff and she's a really deep thinker. I guess Margo feels disappoint that the fact people don't really care.
Some comments that I have is that Margo really believes in revenge. The whole trip was planned to get revenge to the people that hurt her. She's doing illegal stuff just to get back at people. I've also notices that Marog doesn't treat Quentin in the best way. He's in love with her and treats her so well but she doesn't treat him so well sometimes.
