Blog Assignment #2 Topic 1

D.Blue Topic 1
In Junot Diaz’s novel “The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao”, the author uses a solemn plot structure to show why love should not become obsession. In the 1st chapter of the novel, Oscar fell in love with a girl he meets while taking his SAT named Ana Obregón. However, Ana’s ex-boyfriend, Manny, come back from the Army. Oscar new Ana still had feelings for Manny, but he still tried to become a couple with her. Oscar’s obsession with love prevented him from giving up on an already lost cause. When he finally confessed how he felt about Ana, the unexpected happened. Ana rejected Oscar, saying she already had a boyfriend. Oscar has had horrible luck with women for several years, so when he finds one that didn’t mind his obesity and love of  science fiction, he believed that she would be the one that would accept him as a boyfriend.  Oscar’s obsession with love is what leads to him being rejected and heart-broken by Ana. Falling in love isn’t a terrible feeling, but when that love becomes obsession, it will only end in pain. A person needs to know when he has to give up on a girl. There are always more flowers in this garden of life.

    Strength: It looks like you know a lot about the book, your first and last sentences are good
    Weakness: There are typos, very little analysis, almost like a summary and when I read it it feels very rushed and at times unclear

    Strength: The introduction has an effective TAG.
    Weakness: This is a summary. It lacks analysis. I don't really see the E&A couplets.
