Exemplification
Exemplification writting is a very interesting way to writte. After reading the chapter I learned many things. One of the things I learned is that using examples in exemplification is very important. It helps to prove your point and it also helps readers understand your point. Using a lot of examples makes your papper stronger. Another thing I learned is that the examples have to be well organized and the examples also have to good. Otherwise, the writting will end up being slopy with no organization. All this will be very helpful when I writte my paper. It'll be a little challenging for me but I can always refer to the book for guidance. It has many good writtings in it which I really liked. The most important thing that I have to keep in mind is that I have to provide many examples. I'm looking forward to it since it looks very interesting.

Exemplification
Personal Reaction:
I learned a new subject matter in this chapter. before reading this chapter I did not have idea that i can write essay in exemplification format too. I knew that I can use examples in the body paragraph to support the main idea, but essay based on examples to persuade readers is new point that surprised me.
Professional Reaction:
The ideas given in this chapter is very helpful to write exemplification essay. After completing this chapter I understand that how I should write essay with examples and complete my next assignment.
At last, I came to learn the structure of exemplification essay. Most importantly, I learned that we can explain and bring clarity with use of examples. Additionally, we can be able to add interest, and persuade reader with the examples.
Chapter 8: Exemplification
I am taking an English class in the Boulder public library. There are many students from other countries: Japan, China, Russia, Mexico and Venezuela. We are not good at English, so when we talk to each other in English, we use a lot of examples to make each other understand. I think using examples is the best way to describe exactly what I want to say.
After reading this chapter, I learned various ways to use examples in writing. I thought using examples is just a tool to help people understand. But what I was surprised about is that examples are also used in writing to add interest or persuasiveness. For example, I start a conversation with "Did you know?" when I want to get my friend's attention. I think speaking and writing use the same skill to attract interest.
I think the most important point in this chapter is to learn how to use examples in writing properly following these strategies:
- Using examples to explain and clarify to help readers understand what topic is
- Using examples to add interest to keep the readers' attention
- Using examples to persuade readers that topic is valid, reasonable, and worth considering

Blog Review
We all have different favorite blogs. Oksoon's favorite blog is Underground New York Public Library. Irina's favorite blog is Mark Reads, and Maritza's favorite blog is Mental_Floss. We all reviewed them and came to a conclusion that Mental_Floss is the best one.
In Mental_Floss blog, there is a lot of information in the different forms like interesting facts, big questions, hypersonic, videos, lists, and quizzes.In contrast, Underground New York Public Library has the good information about books, but it has not sufficient information. In Mark Reads blog it is a little hard to understand for us. Unlike on Mental_Floss everything is well organized and easy to understand.
In our point of view, the Mental_Floss blog is the most informative to follow. However, it is the people's choice which blog they want to follow.

Outline
Introduction:
Thesis statement: "See, the e-blurt, like so many modes of personal expression, is all about power."
Body
Supporting point 1:
"Im busier than you, hence I am more powerful than you."
Supporting point 2:
Nowadays there is no proper signs of grammar while writting emails, like it used to be before a long time ago.
Supporting point3:
"If the reader cannot understand what you are saying in an email then that shows the work have done is incomplete"
Conclusion:
"Which only confirms what I've always felt about power; that the people who really understand it don't say anything at all."

Interview
Today I interview Kevin which was really interesting. Kevin 20 years of age likes writing,
he says “I’m pretty decent at it.” Being a good organizer helps him. That being
said I asked, “Is it your habit to write to-do-lists?” His answer was a no. He
writes music and he also tried raping it but raping just wasn’t for him because
according to him he wasn’t very good at it. He says he’s not a poet but in a
way he is for writing music. Something he’s good at is writing a thesis for any
kind of writing. Currently, he only does short writing at his job and sending
emails to his dad. He works at a sport store where he sometimes writes reports.
Kevin sends weekly emails to his dad who lives in Chicago. Kevin was raised in
Chicago and started college in Chicago as well. He went to Western Illinois
University and Harper Community College. One of the classes that he took at WIU
was English 121. Something they did in that class was peer work shopping. He
said “It was difficult.” He explained that college in Chicago is way different from
Colorado but he likes to expand his writing knowledge. He moved to Colorado a
year ago and signed up to Front Range community College. He is giving English
121 another try. His goals this time are to work more on his weakness which are
conclusions and “try to learn knowledge I already have.” Some problems he
thinks he’ll be having are checking his D2L and going to his blog. Another
thing he thinks he’ll have a problem with is having his portfolio with all his
work. In Chicago he had the habit of throwing away his papers once graded. At
the moment he’s not very familiar with the campus or the library since his
first semester at FRCC was last semester. One of the advantages he has to be in
English 121 is that he is a very good internet navigator. He also knows how to
use computers very well. A reason why is because he took a computer class in
high school. He has a laptop and a desktop at home which he uses to send emails
and use Microsoft Word. He also listens to Pandora. On his playlist you’ll find
rap and rock music. Interviewing Kevin was fun and interesting.
