After reading many blog posts, I felt that Nubia's was one of the most intriguing. Nubia's blog, super nubi's super blog, includes many great posts, but one of my favourites was her response to the Fault in Our Stars by John Green. First, Nubia really gives a great but brief introduction to show what she would be talking about. I felt that it was really helpful her doing this, because she started her effort to persuade us very quickly and didn't talk about a lot of random things that weren't needed.
One of the great things that I liked were that she really examined one major point and didn't just talk about many brief topics. For example, her whole essay is based on "the author used setting to show Gus and Hazel's love."And for this, her whole three body paragraphs are based on this point and she didn't change the topic at all. When I read other people's blogs they didn't really give an in-depth analysis, but Nubia really explained her thoughts and feelings about the claim that she highlighted.
I have also read the book and Nubia persuaded me to think about some points that I had never thought about. For example, when I read the book last year, i only thought about the issues with Gus and Hazel's relationship and the obstacles that they have to deal with. However, I never really thought about how the author tries to make us realise how strong their love is. It really showed me how I could read the book again and examine a whole different part. She made me agree with her because she really made a good point about how their love progresses throughout the story.
Lastly, I really liked how Nubia wrote her conclusion. She really put the whole essay into perspective and made a great comparison between real life and the story. She examined why the author chose to do this and she really makes a great reasoning for a tie-up of her essay. "Even if you aren’t in the best conditions, it doesn’t matter." This for me was the best quote in the essay because she just showed that to love someone you only need each other and nothing fancy. This was a great message to end her post on and this was how she made a great conclusion to her post.
In conclusion, Nubia's post was very good and she really examined the book well. I really liked everything that Nubia did and she made some great comparisons in her post. Her essay was very persuasive and the post made me change my opinion about what I thought. Overall, Nubia did a fantastic post and it was one of the best that I had read.
