When I was younger my brother and I would play this game called World Conquer two and Levi would always choose Italy and I would always choose Greece or France to either go against him or join him. When we would go against each other he would always win basted off of land mass and more land to built factories on and more cities for population. I would always triumphant at the beginning based on my troops were closer to the border then his were so I could built entrenchments before he could, but after that he would always win due to a navel invasion. I choose Italy because of my brother liking to it and how much I have had to deal with it in my past even if it was just in a game.
In wanderessence1025’s blog “on returning home from Italy” starts off with a unique route. She starts the next four paragraph’s with “Two Weeks”. I haven’t saw anything like that before and I hope to never. Reading that was really repetitive or that could just be being extremely tired on a Monday morning. Damn Monday’s. The author really goes into detail about what she saw on the road which was really interesting. When I was looking for a blog I could only find one about the way back and a little bit of details which wasn’t that. I liked that it shows they path to and from Italy. It’s really a unique way to write from the traditional blogs, but I didn’t like it. I like the details abut the place because that’s where I want to be instead of on the road.
The blog starts off with her in Southern Paris, then it goes to the Onion-domed in Russian’s Cathedral, and then to Van Goth’s hospital room. She travels a lot to get to Italy and it kind of seems like she went around the world. She really travels a lot to get to Italy. When she’s in Italy she goes to Rome and visits the Colosseum to see the ancient art from 72-80 A.D. While she is on her trips she makes sketch’s of coffee pots at Domaine De Rasigous Aurifat, swimming pools, and architectural elements at Abbey De Fonteforide. When she coming back she saw a vast range of Vineyards which are notorious in Italy and France. If I was in control of this blog I would have started with what she experienced in Italy and what she did, then go to wats he saw on the was back home. I think that would have made for a more interesting start other then the two week thing she had going on for half of the blog. Also if she did go into Italy more she could have done a little history lesson about the buildings she went to and all of that jazz. What would have been a cool and interesting part of the blog and could have made it educational and showed people what Italy is like other then what is was like coming back. When it would have been a double purpose tool.
