draft of #15 history

Arden, 

Reading your posts is very enjoyable as they are quite clear and easy to read. The way you format things make it easy to understand. You often briefly introduce the topics at the beginning of your text and then go into further detail of everything you stated at the beginning. 
  In your most recent blog (blog post #14) you make connections with the text were responding too but you formed your own opinion as well. I was skimming through other peoples work and realized that a lot of what they wrote was just direct ideas of what was in the text and they did not even state whether or not they agreed with what they were saying. It was almost like i was reading a shorter version of the text that we were assigned too because no new ideas were introduced. 
I think organization is your strongest point in your writing because unlike myself, you break all the topics into paragraphs and dont jump from one topic to another within the same paragraph. As far as improving on your writing, i think your choice of vocabulary and usage could be stronger. You often use a word to describe something where you could easily select a better word for that sentence.
