Post the book you're reading and its author.
Almost all fiction authors have to do some kind of research before they write their novels. For example, JK Rowling might have researched historical sites in London and different creatures from mythology. Suzanne Collins, author of The Hunger Games series, might have researched different types of weapons or survival skills. The author of Twilight researched Native-American traditional stories.
Tell me something that you think your author researched before he or she wrote your novel. Explain why you choose this (how it relates to your novel).

Blog #15, DUE: SATURDAY, January 26, 2012
(Sorry I posted this late - it's due Saturday instead of Friday!)
Post your book title and author.
We have been learning the persuasive technique of acknowledging the other side and then refuting it (counterargument).
Describe a situation in which one of your characters might want to persuade another character to do something or to believe something. After describing the situation, pretend you are the character and write a counterargument.
I will post an example.
