This flavorful blog post, from a food and wine website, is all about a perpetual stew called Stu. The author tries to advertise the stew by saying to try new food. The stew is not as terrifying as it seems. Starting with a general connection, we tweet what we eat, the author engages the readers’ attention. When she has the reader’s attention, she immediately mentions the name and location of the restaurant that makes the stew. The author tells the readers the stew is a safe way to not waste food. Giving statements like, “constant simmering means bacteria can’t develop,” and “every bit of solid food is removed,” may reassure the readers. There is a list of some ingredients that follows and base for two popular dishes contain the stew. The dishes are known for they savory and rich taste. The author further connects to the readers, mostly food lover and food critics, by telling them to get involved. Lastly, she quotes the chef on the health benefits. Stu seems like a better option compared to a flu shot.

What I love is that you really stick with what the author is doing. I think some of the language in the beginning wasn’t as clear for me. Specifically this sentence: “Starting with a general connection, we tweet what we eat, the author engages the readers’ attention.” Also the place where you provide quotes seems like a place where you would have done just as well to paraphrase. It seems like it’s the content and not the language that’s proving your point.
I know you move chronologically, but it would have perhaps been stronger if you had of put this first part about it being safe with the health benefits.
