The writers of the blog on child poverty do a great job of showing how many children are malnourished and often times do not even get to eat for days at a time. The pictures that are displayed on this website say more than even words can explain. There are statistics provided that demonstrates the appalling life style these innocent children are faced with each day. This site is a Christian Blog were a team of writers add stories about the poverty situations in different areas of the world. I believe that the blog is maintained to inform readers that there are problems like this in the United States. Not every person is fortunate enough to eat every day. I wish that a video would be provided on this site that showed a brief day in the life of a child in poverty.
This site appeals to the people who want to make a difference in this world and put an end to poverty. These children have done nothing to deserve these kinds of conditions. They are not only faced with starvation, but their health is now affected. Their parents try to provide food for them, but finding a good job is nearly impossible. On this site, you are able to sponsor a child. They provide some background on the child and you have the opportunity to select that individual or pick another one. Readers are able to leave comments on the stories that are posted. After reading a story, you can rate the material on a scale of one to five. There is an area on the site were the highest rated post are listed for you. It is very easy to follow the website and all the great information that is provided for you.
There are numerous stories provided on this site of different situations in different parts of the world. The images show the pain these children are experiencing. They cannot perform their everyday activities because they have not eaten in several days. I believe that this site is more appealing to readers because it deals with kids who are faced with extremely horrific situations every day of their life. These kids are born into these situations and are never given the opportunity to better their lives.
This blog should make people be extremely thankful for everything they have. We do not even know what it would be like to go a day without food. We need to make a stand to end poverty and provide equally for everyone in this world. There is not one person better than anyone else because God created us all equally. Everyone needs to accept the fact that we do have situations in the world like this. It will take everyone to make a difference. A person could donate a penny a day and in one year have donated $365. We live in a world of such advanced technology and somehow cannot figure out how to take care of all of our people.

The analization that has been written is very well written and would appeal to all those trying to fight poverty. The blog includes a tremendous amount of detail to explain the blog being analyzed. It keeps the reader interested and keeps them reading the piece. The blog does not over analyze itself and gives plenty of information. The voice in the blog seems some what angered and urgent, but is appropriate for the piece and fits well.I did not get lost in the reading at any point in time and was interested throughout. The entry does make me interested in child poverty for it is a growing problem in the world. The 8th sentence really starts to express the urgent and angered tone.
ReplyDeleteThe analysis is very well written and would appeal to all those trying to fight poverty. The blog includes a tremendous amount of detail to explain the blog being analyzed.The writer expresses a some what angered and urgent tone throughout the piece but truely shows their feelings about poverty in the 8th sentence. The writer shows that they read the blog in detail by telling of how things on the website work, like the sponsoring of a kid in sentence 12. The writer did an excellent job in grabbing the attention of the reader and would convince one to support the cause of poverty without actually visiting the blog. However in the second to last sentence of the blog their is a slight miscalculation on the money that would be donated in a year if a penny was given. The writer might want to say a dollar a day instead of a penny a day where the child only recieves $3.65 a year.
ReplyDeleteIt's really amazing how passionate you feel about this blog over child poverty. Even the way you explain it to us is amazing because I can hear the passion in your writing and how this makes you feel. I also think the writer should say a dollar a day cause it is a lot more. Some people don't have a lot of time to give back so this is a great way for them to do just that. They don't even have to give hours of time out of their week all they have to do is send a needy family money for food and they can make a difference in someones life that can actually save their life. This is a really good blog!
