Blog Post #6

Your sixth blog post assignment is based on Library Assignment #1. Write a blog post summarizing AND analyzing the two articles that you located in the library.

As you discuss the article from List A, please include any pertinent things you noticed about the context surrounding the article. For example, what else was going on in Houston or the state and country that day that might shed light on the way Dowling was remembered at that moment? Does the placement of the article in the paper (front page, or opinion pages, or lifestyle pages, etc.) change the way you see the article?

Since the article from List B will be new to members if the class, you may also want to revisit some of the earlier research questions that we’ve raised about Dowling and apply them to this article. Does this article help answer some of our earlier questions? Does it raise new questions?

Your blog post is due Thursday, February 24, at 9 a.m.
