Amy's Blogpost
I read Amy's Blogpost on Twisted. I really liked it. She interpreted evidence from the book and formed her own opinion. She sectioned her supporting details into straightforward paragraphs and gave a concise overview of the story. She chose a very interesting book to post on, as well. I haven't read Twisted, yet I can see from her post that it is a really thought-provoking, deep book.
The main character, Tyler, handles his problems in a bit of a violent manner, however, in her blog, Amy says that though she is glad he stood up for himself, he should have told a teacher or other authority figure. She shows her personal opinion in context with the text. She says what she would have done in his place, which is something I think is important to understanding a character.
She also talks about the pressure Tyler's dad puts on him. He forces him to lose games and bow before the son of his boss, just to keep his job intact. He is cruel to both Tyler and his mom, forcing them to do things they don't want to do. He makes Tyler feel small and inadequate. In her blog, Amy communicates that anything bad Tyler does, he does to gain his undeserving father's love and respect.
Overall, I think Amy did a stellar job, and others should follow her blog.
