Good start to your blog project, Mary! Your images are good and you need one for New Orleans blog. You need to make some improvements. You need to add more examples to your character traits list for direct and indirect. You need 10 for each. You need to do a little more proofreading before final project is due at end of book. You need to put blogs in right order (follow mine), and you need source website at bottom of each blog whenever you used an outside source for info or image.
