Starting a blog is helpful for writers to create an author platform for themselves. It's important for any writer (published or hoping to be published) to establish a professional online presence that is easily discoverable by both readers and publishers. For this activity, you should research blogs written by popular authors as well as your favorite author(s). You should also read blogs by literary agents and small presses.

After researching and reading a variety of writing blogs, you should answer the following questions:

• What blogs did you read?

• Did any blog have a style you'd like to emulate?

• What did you learn about writing and publishing from this research?

• What commonalities did the author blogs you read share?

• What are the things you noticed in relation to the writers’ interaction with their readers? Which tools did they use to establish a fan base and to make their blog appealing to readers?

• Will you start a blog about writing? Research ways to get started blogging.

according to hess's theory, when the magma cooled, it would expand and push the tectonic plates apart. it would push the north and south america plates to the west and eurasia and africa ones to the east. the atlantic ocean would get wider but the coastlines of the masses would stay the same.

harry hammond hess was a geologist and a united states navy officer in the second world war. he is considered to be one of the founding fathers of the theory of plate tectonics. he is known for his theories on sea floor spreading, stating that the movement of the continents was the result of see floor spreading. the continents are attached to the plates and do not move separately. the plates themselves shift and change shape, carrying the continents along.

panem is a communist totalitarian dictatorship where all the resources and how they are allocated belongs to the capitol. the districts exist only to provide goods and services for the capital and most of the citizens live in poverty. it is a police state where the "peacekeepers" use force and threats to keep the people under control. dissent is outlawed and those who disobey the law are executed, flogged, or turned into avoxes. the games are another means in which the ruling elite in the capitol exert their power over the districts. when reading the books i drew parallels between panem and the soviet union and north korea. in no way is panem capitalist. the people in the capitol are wealthy but the majority of them are involved in the government somehow. it was the same way in the former soviet union where bigwigs in the communist party and high ranking government officials were given access to goods, services, medical treatments not available to the general public. if you think panem has a capitalist economy you need to brush up on your economics.
