                                Reflections from The Movie Roots             Have you seen or heard of the series/ book Roots ? Moreover,  Roots is a true story about the author Alex Hailey's decent Kunta Kinte. Kunta Kinte was a free man in Africa until one day he was taken by a group of voyagers. He was placed on a slave ship with 140 slaves out of the 140, 98 slaves make it on land.

Blogsite I liked- Fifteenth Annual Weblog Awards     Out of all the blogs, the blog that stood out to me was the blog webpage of all the award winning blogs (Fifteenth Annual Weblog Awards). All the qualities of this blog was so efficient. Furthermore, the webpage is user friendly providing easy access to award winning blogs around the world. In addition, the web page of the all the blogs was creative because of the designs for each blog (see picture below).  2015 Bloggies Blog I liked- Dog Shaming           Within the Fifteenth Annual Weblog Awards, there lies a blog called "Dog Shaming". The author wants dog owners to post pictures with captions of what naughty shenanigans their pups are up to. This blog is simple but cute. To elaborate, the blog is formatted in a personal blog style because it is open to proud dog owners who lovingly shame their dog(s) and comment on other dog shaming posts. As the saying goes, "dogs are man's best friend"...
