In my English class we've been reading the book "Night" by Elie Wiesel. He is a Holocaust survivor and this book is about what he has been though when he was taken into a concentration camp. A life changing story but a shocking one indeed. he was taken and his family to a concentration camp Auschwitz in 1944. This is really a great book to read; a book that will surprise people and his experiences during the holocaust.
Our assignment was to write our own version of Elie's eulogy that he gives to his fathers funeral. Sadly, Elie's father died during the holocaust.
Eulogy:
Shlomo Wiesel was a strong man, caring man too. He had i will so powerful that made me realize i had to go on and not give in into all the harsh circumstances than i have face in the holocaust. Without him i wouldn't have survive the holocaust. He protected me, he loved me with all his heart, he is my father.
The last words that he has said to me was my very own name since then i haven't forgotten his last words. he wanted him to be near him but that i didn't give him i knew that would only cause him more pain inside because he was gonna leave me by myself alone. I don't regret my decision, so many thoughts came to mind before and after his death some bad some good. Still i have made a decision to have left my dear father. I saw that this was the end and i accepted it i knew he was a strong man that is why i am happy that he was my father, the one i will never forget as long as i live. So many years has passed since January 28, 1945 and i still haven't forgotten what impact my father has left me. He was indeed a wise man and in that i am in debt to him. I love you Shlomo Wiesel and good bye father we will meet again some day. Thank you.
This is well done. Very emotional. I like your last line of the first paragraph in the eulogy.

Remember, even though a blog assignment might not seem as "formal" as a paper, it is equally as important for you to check the spelling. In fact, since a blog is a public source, one could argue it's even MORE important for you to ensure your spelling and grammar is correct.
