Visiting
a blog is a matter of course. When we are looking for something on Google, we
will visit the blog sometimes... So yesterday I visited 5 blogs and I will
discuss what I have read from the 5 blogs .
1.
The first blog I visited was about reviewing a book entitled Tuesday with morrie
: An old man, a young man and life greatest. On the blog review chapter 3 and
4.. In chapter 3 tells One day Mitch promised Morrie he would graduate from
college but Mitch had not graduated.He had lost contact with his friends in
college and continued to hold on to his grades. Mitch really admired his uncle.
His uncle has died of pancreatic cancer. Mitch watched his uncle until his
uncle died and he felt helpless. Until his life followed in the footsteps of
his uncle by working hard and leaving his dream of becoming a pianist. When his
uncle asked the mitch, would he watch his children after his uncle died. Mitch
told his uncle not to talk about it. Only a few weeks, his uncle died and
changed his mind that his life was very valuable with financial success. 2. The
second blog I was visited about Review: The Elements of Style (1920) by William
Strunk, Jr. — Part 2 on the blog review
chapter 3 tells After knowing the elementary rules of usage in previous chapter
(chapter II), this chapter contains the elementary principles of composition.
This chapter tell us how to make a paragraph; one paragraph to each topic, so
you can give a brief explanation about the topic in a single paragraph. It is
also advisable to divide your topic into subdivision if the topic is quite
complicated. To aid the reader, it is recommended to start a paragraph with
topic sentence and end it in conformity with the beginning. The topic sentence
comes at or near the beginning; and the following sentence explain or develop
the statement; and the final sentence either
emphasizes or states some important detail. This chapter also covers the
usage of active voice. The usage of active voice is usually more direct and vigorous
than the passive. After telling the usage of active voice, this chapter also
tell us to put statements in positive form to make our statements more
definite. A good paragraph should use a
definite, specific and concrete language as well as omit needless words. Last
but not least, avoid a succession of loose sentences, keep related words
together and place the emphatic words of a sentence at the end.

The third blog I was visited book review abot how to talk Chapter 3 and 4.
Chapter
3: Alternatives to Punishment As you began to use some of the skills for
engaging cooperation, did you find that it took thought and self-control not to
say some of the things you usually say? For many of us sarcasm, lectures,
warnings, name-calling, and threats were all woven into the language we heard
as we were growing up. It isn’t easy to give up the familiar. Parents have
often told us how upset they were because, even after attending a session,
they’d still find themselves saying things to their children they didn’t like.
The only difference was that now they heard themselves. Actually hearing
yourself represents progress. It’s the first step toward making changes. Then
there were the times when I’d say all the “right things” and nothing seemed to
work. The kids would either ignore me or—even worse—defy me. When that
happened, there was only one thing I wanted to do—PUNISH THEM! In order to
understand more deeply what happens between people when one person punishes
another, please read the next two scenes and answer the questions that follow them.
Chapter 4 : Encouraging Autonomy
Most
of the books on child-rearing tell us that one of our most important goals as
parents is to help our children separate from us, to help them become
independent individuals who will one day be able to function on their own
without us. We’re urged not to think of our children as little carbon copies of
us or as extensions of ourselves but as unique human beings with different
temperaments, different tastes, different feelings, different desires,
different dreams.Yet how are we to help them become separate, independent
persons? By allowing them to do things for themselves, by permitting them to
wrestle with their own problems, by letting them learn from their own mistakes.
Easier
said than done. I can still remember my first child struggling to tie his
shoelaces and me watching patiently for about ten seconds and then bending down
to do it for him.
To
Encourage Autonomy
1. Let children make
choices.
2. Show respect for a
child’s struggle.
3. Don’t ask too many
questions.
4. Don’t rush to answer
questions.
5. Encourage children to
use sources outside the home.
6. Don’t take away hope

The fourth blog I visited was about reviewing a book entitled Book Review :
Lord of The Flie by William Goulding) chapter 4,5,6. Chapter 4 "Painted
Faces and Long Hair"
Golding
begins the chapter by describing a sense of order among the boys on the island,
and he concludes it by describing the order's disintegration. Chapter 5
"Beast From Water" The weight of leadership becomes oppressive for
Ralph as the story continues; he is dutiful and dedicated, but his attempts to
instill order and calm among the boys are decreasingly successful. Chapter 6
"Beast From Air" Chapter Six also confirms the increasing tension between
Jack and Ralph, whose opposing ideas of social organization resurface. While he
despises Piggy, Jack's most threatening enemy is Ralph, who insists on rules
and self-discipline over wild adventures and hunting.

The fifth blog I visited was about reviewing a book entitled "Sometimes you
win, sometime you lose By Jhon C. Maxwell Chapter 5,6,7 in this book review
explains various motivations
well
that's some of the blogs that I visited yesterday all about review books and
all the reviews are very interesting in my opinion by reading the review I can
find out the contents in the book even though there are only a few parts but at
least know the description of the book.
