Response To Tazmina

     I read the blog post written by Tazmina. She wrote about the book Everlost. it's about child ghosts trapped in a half life, and she writes about how, like Mary Hightower takes something away from others (SPOILER) she dos this by not telling the children how to get to heaven (or hell). I've also read the book, and I loved it.
     The reason i'm reviewing this post is because it made me think of this book in a completely different way. When I read it earlier I thought about how Mary Hightower was lying and withholding information from the children in Everlost. But Tazmina pointed out how Mary was actually taking things from the kids, by not allowing them into wherever they were going. I have re-read the book several times and never thought of it like that. People who don't let others get things, or know things, are kind of like thieves. It's the equivalent of a thief to that person. AMazing how I could overlook an idea so many times, but when someone else points it out, it opens my mind to this whole other path of ideas.
     One problem, though, I had with tazmina's post is that she set it up badly, and it's a little disorganized. I'm quite disorganized with my blogs to sometimes, but when you step back and look at a blog post set up strangely, it is really confusing. I think Tazmina should put a litlle more organization and set-up in this post. Otherwise, I think it's a great post, and really makes me think in new ways.

  1. I like how you pointed out the things that Tazmina made you think differently about, and I like how 2/3 of the post is what you like and discovered in her post and the last bit is what she could do to improve it
