Gooding-Best of blogs

The first blog I read was about Steve Hooker, he suffered an injury but pulled through and ended up getting the gold medal anyways. The author of this blog was very well written. He also had a similar experience happen to them so it was a very relatable blog. Since the author could relate to the stumble I feel like he put more time into it and knew what he was talking about. I really liked how this stumble was put together. This stumble seemed to flow really well and had a good amount of detail, since the author brought a personal experience to it, it brought a more personal touch to it and gave other people something to relate to if they have been through a similar experience. The next blog I read was one about Michael Phelps's diet. When I read it I was amazed about how much he actually ate. I know that I wouldn't be able to eat that much. I feel like this author was really good at what they talked about. I liked how they included some of the information from the site instead of just talking about it. It felt like you knew more about the site before you even had to look at it. It was also good how they included some of the citations. Some future topics I might consider for papers would be the effects of a healthy diet on athletes, or the best way to stay in shape while injured. Stumble is a great prewriting tool because you can find something on a topic and it might just turn out to be the topic you decide to talk about. It can also give you some information about the topic of choice. According to my classmates the most important elements to a successful essay would be good flow, sentence structure, paragraph structure, and details. I feel like blogging is a good writing tool so far cause it allows you to just get your ideas out in the open and gets your creative juices flowing. Also it helps you to think of points to your own paper topic.
