Short Story

Howard was dressed in his safari outfit, complete with a beige safari hat, kaki shorts with a light brown belt, a kaki button down short-sleeved shirt and a leather satchel containing his most prized possessions. As he walked through the jungle in India he was on high alert for a tiger that would be on the hunt for its next meal. After wandering the hot, sticky jungle for a while he decides to sit down near a stream and have himself a nice chocolate bar. As he was finishing his chocolate bar he heard something out of the ordinary. He stood up to assess his surroundings and found himself locking eyes with an adult white bangle tiger. He started to slowly back away from the regal animal but every one step he took back the tiger took two forward. Howard found himself backed against a rock wall. He was literally stuck between a rock and a hard place. He was clutching his leather satchel for his life. The tiger was now a whisker away. Just as Howard thought the tiger was going to pounce, he closed his eyes, fell to his knees and started to pray. Then Howard felt a big, scratchy tongue run across his face. He knew this was it. Then the tiger started purring and rubbing its face against Howards cupped hands. Howard opened his wet eyes and realized what was happening. He then started to scratch the tiger behind its ears and the tiger plopped down right on top of Howard. The tiger then fell asleep from being in the hot sun too long, and so did Howard. When Howard woke up at sunset the tiger was gone and he never saw him again.

Blog Reviews

http://amormonatoxford.blogspot.com/?expref=next-blog

    A mormon at Oxford is a very interesting blog. The lay out and design of the blog seems to emulate the essence of the authoris, a lawyer from provo utah who has her own law group in England. The focus of the site changes throughout her posts, sometimes work, sometimes family but its mostly about anchoring her faith while going through life and its many obstacles.The content defiantly matches the focus, she ties her faith into every post she makes. Her writing style is very informative and light. She uses grammar and punctuation well. The blog is very much effective in capturing its audience, who are family and working class people.

www.twaggies.com

   Twaggies.com is a charm full and delightful blog. Twaggies takes twitter posts from all over twitter and makes illustrations of them. Usually the tweets they twaggie have misspellings or are making fun of celebrities in some way. The design of Twaggies is very minimalistic insofar as the website is back and white except for the twaggies, illustrations, themselves. The focus of the site is humor. The content is sometimes not aligned with the focus. Just in the sense that sometimes a twaggie isn’t very funny but I guess that just depends on the audience’s perception of the joke. Twaggies message of humor at the cost of humanities idiocy is effective. The intended audience for this blog/website is the younger to middle aged generation. There are no interesting facts about the author of the blog because the blog commission’s different artists to produce the twaggies so it’s more of a community of authors as opposed one sole author. Twaggies.com is a delightful and fun blog to escape to after having a hard days work.

The content defiantly matches the focus. I feel like I’m going to a virtual wellness spa every time I visit the blog/website. The authors voice is very helpful, young, descriptive, concise and to the point. The grammar and punctuation is very good. The sites message is of self-wellness is very effective. The intended audience for this blog is 13 to 25 year old girls in school. I love this blog because it is my go to website for anything girly!
