Blog Questions block 2

1) BH
How do you think people obtained power during the victorian era? Is power more easier to obtain depending on your family or because of potential?

My opinion) First of all the time was not the Victorian era but the Elizabethan era. I think that instead of saying " Is power more easier to obtain depending on your family or because of potential?" I would say "Was power easier to obtain depending on your family's notability around specific area or because of your potential as a leader?" Good Question overall.

2)DL
Peter had multiple options and choices for the future when he found out that Sir Philip had found evidence of his participation in the destruction of Sir Philip’s wall. What other options do you think would have been other good courses of action? How might they have effected his future?

My opinion) Peter was not a part of the destruction, he was just spotting for the other "MEN" who where destructing the wall. Anyway Sir Philip's men just found his cap, that does not mean he was apart of the destruction of the wall

3)JD
Does theatre have a say in political matters? If yes, explain.

My opinion) How does the theatre ever have a say in political matters? Needs to be more specific.

4)JA
How the story being set in the late 1600s to early 1700s, make Peter’s journey more intense and complicated?

My opinion) How does the setting being in the late 1500s to early 1600s (not late 1600s to early 1700s) get involved in making Peter’s journey more intense and complicated? How is it even complicated? Needs to be more specific.

5)DL
Does Peter life relate to other kids around the world? Does it relate to you? Explain why.

My opinion) This is a good question. The reason why is because in many different countries kids leave their homes manly because of personal difficulties such abuse or losses of family members, that kids join into an organization of some sort to give them the necessities they need in their daily lives such as a new family. The only thing is that if we have the privilege to go to School, live with our families/guardians/home stay parents, etc. this does not really relate to us. (I may be speaking on behalf of some of us) Overall good thought out question!

Now I am done my 5 questions.

(PS. As I pressed the 'Publish Post' Link I got an error message so I had to go back on blogger. I was lucky enough to have my 1st and 2nd Questions saved. Thank Heavens!)

  1. You did a good job of picking out the problems with the questions, Austin, excellent work.
    However, I think your post can be improved. To better show your thinking and understanding, consider adding examples to how you think the questions can be improved, and change the original question to what you think is a better, more insightful question. This will help others understand your perspectives better as well as show more understanding and better analyzing of the question on your part. Please consider the idea.

  2. I think you did well at finding the problems with each question but your response to each problem is a bit vague, you could've been more specific with each of your arguments.
