Something I really appreciated from this blog, was how detailed all of the responses to the questions were. Sometimes when reading articles that are not descriptive about even the little things, I feel like it is difficult to comprehend what the author is saying. Especially, when you are trying to understand the story more thoroughly, it is harder to do so. But the answers in this blog, especially for questions 4,5,6, I feel as though they were very detailed and informative.
