going through everyone's blog...

Economic advice to Barack Obama...

I found this blog really interesting because it relates to the same basic idea I had for Obama. I talked about creating jobs, but I just said what to do and what not to do. In Chandler Hood's blog I found a HOW. A plan for Obama, that goes farder than just stormbraining about what to change, it's more like how to change it. That's whay I liked this Blog.

Here's part of his plan...

"All companies with an annual revenue of $500 million or more that choose to sell their products in America must base at least 10% of their manufacturing workforce in America."

Historical Writing...

For this category I liked Evan Lott's blog. The way he writes about history may not be that deep, but it is really easy to understand, and easy evidence like quotes are in it. His writing is more an overall analysis of the topic. Here are some sentences of his writing which I concider really easy to understand and get into.

"The populist were their own party, but some of them worked within the democractic party. in the election of 1896 the populists were at a crossroad, stuck between gold and silverites."

Literary Analysis....

This is a paragraph from Sophie Santiago's honors blog. Even though there isn't much of an overall analysis. She took apart one of the literary devices (character) and described very well. She explained what the literary device called character is, and at the same time what the character was in the book that she's reading.

"One literary device in the book, The island of Dr. Moreau written by H.G. Wells, is character. There are three main characters, Dr. Moreau, Montgomery, and Prendick. Prendick an English man and is smart but not as smart as the other characters, Dr.Moreau and Montgomery. He is not really talked much about in the book but you can tell he is one of the characters who is doing his very best to survive on the island. I would Montgomery’s character as puzzled or confused. On the island he was looked down on by Dr. Moreau. In Dr. Moreau’s eyes he was seen as, “imperfect”. He was obsessed with Drinking and having power. Dr. Moreau, in my opinion the most stubborn character. I say that because he was obsessed with perfection and in his opinion everything was imperfect. So he used his science based knowledge to create creature like animals, which really was far off from being perfect. But in Dr. Moreau’s eyes that was seen as perfection."

Descriptive blog's...

For my own category I choose Descriptive blog. I didn't look for a good descriptive piece of writing. I was looking for a simply GOOD piece of writing so I went to Will Schrenkeisen's blog, and I found a well, funny blog about himself. What made it good and funny? the description that he gives to everything. And that's how I got my Descriptive blog category. Here is a small taste of it.

"For the sake of detail, this man was a little taller than me and possessed a reasonable degree of courtesy, but I could sense that he wondered what the hell I was doing in such an austere business environment."

Obama, here's an idea ...

If I had the opportunity to give some advisement to our new president I would start with the whole idea of cutting down taxes. In my opinion the best way to go about money is investing it. Yes, maybe it would be nice to not have to pay that extra dollar when we buy our new jeans, but wouldn't it be better to actually have a well job, and not have to worry about that extra dollar because we have a stabled salary.
If the new president and the government make better decisions about spending money in creating jobs, instead of supporting people that DON'T have jobs that would help them more. Maybe at first when we don't get jobs or tax cuts, we as citizens wouldn't understand and would reveal against Obama, but eventually it would be better and more effective.

In 1961 John F. Kennedy talked about the economic recovery and how it should relate to jobs. He said: "Expansion and modernization of the nation's productive plant is essential to accelerate economic growth and to improve the international competitive position of American industry ... An early stimulus to business investment will promote recovery and increase employment." If JFK lived that would probably be one the advisement he would have for Obama. Create more of the good stuff that the country has and take advantage of it.

If Obama is not careful enough and instead of creating jobs he lets only the big companies be in charge of the job percentages and take control in that matter. It can happen the same tragedy that occurred during the Gilded age. Industries owning peoples lives and week people letting them do it because of the great necessity they had. It may sound a little bit extreme and over the top to compare this time we are going through to the gilded age, but it is always a possibility to go back to the same mistakes we once made. The great depression is a good example of regression instead of moving forward.

Another thing I would tell Obama is to be more careful and strict about the billouts the goverment gives to the companies. You should be more cheap when it comes to spending money on them and ask for better excuses from them. That way the money will be spend more wisly and thinking more about the people that don't have even a job, and not concentrating on the few CEO's of this world.

Interview Principles...

1-The "Well Though Questions" principle.
I want my interview to have questions that can make the interviewee keep talking, and giving not just a lot of information but good information. Here are two links. One to a bad interview, this one being full of "yes or no" questions, in fact the interviewee has to make the conversation interesting. in the second interview you can tell the interviewer having more flexibility to go over a certain topic.
Bad interview
Good Interview

2- "Integrating background knowledge Principle"
Interview transcripts

3-Good use of "Background Info" This is an interview to Miley Cyrus. The interviewers have a lot of background information, they throw a topic that people want to hear about, but ask how that certain topic happened.
Hanna Montana Interview.
