Dylan Staheli: English 3450

 I received some great feedback from our in-class peer review exercise. My rough draft is nearly entirely complete, so I think my approach will be to consider the comments I received from the peer review, complete the drafting of my paper, and continue to work on it a little bit each day. I will also ask for feedback from Dr. Bacabac if I feel like I need more assistance.

 My topic is an analysis of the influence that culture has on online travel blogs. The majority of my research highlighted rhetoric within travel blog posts, structure of blog posts, and credibility of information contained with blog post content. I did not find a lot of information about how blog topics relate to major cultural events such as presidential elections, nationwide disasters/catastrophes, significant holidays or events, etc. So, a potential research gap that would be interesting to address is the correlation between significant events and dates in US history and the content published on travel blogs on or around those dates. I would approach this research by identifying popular travel blogs and examining posts published on or around selected dates of cultural significance.
