"Ed's Girl on the Hunt"

“Ed's Girl on the Hunt” is a short blog entry written by “Ed's Girl The Second”. The girl who wrote the blog had great energy throughout the whole thing which made it very enjoyable to read. I felt her excitement and can only imagine what it would feel like to have my dream job put so closely into my reach like that. I would imagine it would feel like fate almost. The author is really effective in expressing her joy from getting the summer job. Especially when the author uses all capitals to show emphasis when she says, “But this magazine, THIS magazine is the one I eventually want to write for and I emulate the people who do.” I also liked how the author shows her dedication towards reaching her goal of becoming a writer for the magazine she has just received an internship with. The author explains how enthusiastic she is about getting to read all the “back issues from the library and learn every article and nuance from the past few years.” That just shows her work ethic and I admire that a lot. Overall, this blog was encouraging and I enjoyed it.

  1. Jackie,

    Remember to keep your blogs at 300 words. I like that you paid attention to (and commented on) the author's use of external text structures (i.e. ALL CAPS). This is an important part of reading/writing - we need to consider an author's every letter!

    Nice job - I also like the picture you've chosen. Does it imply the author finds writing easy, or do YOU find writing easy?

    Let me know if you have any questions!
