Final Blog - student critique

For my final blog, I chose to critique Victor's 3rd blog with his song connection found here

Personally, I think he chose a very good song with many deep and insightful connections. However, his transitions and technical and formal elements could be improved to make the blog easier to follow. He could have also had a more in depth conclusion that summarized his key points to close the blog in an effective manner.

However, his strengths lay in his excellent choice of song and the connections that he was able to make to the story with it. He was able to focus on many of the main themes of the short story, showing a true understanding and deep analytical skills. With the If we see the last day... he focused on the climax of the short story and the impact of that one day.

Following that, Victor focused on the two "worlds" and the differences between adults and children in their views, perspectives and judgement on society. He also managed to focus on the key conflict and theme of man vs. society .

Lastly, Victor ended it off with two nice and happy connections of how the girls, due to their purity and naivety, still tried to live in their own world and maintain their friendship. He continues with mentioning the perspective of the girls and their perseverance in trying to believe that nothing had changed. He then follows up and concludes it by connecting with I will still have you . It was a good, strong connection that gave the readers a bittersweet feeling and a shimmer of hope. His mention of a bond allows the reader to reflect on their own life and make personal connections after reading Victor's connections with Us against the world by Christina Milian.
