Use of graphics/ illustration to reinforce/ enhance the page content. link »
Example of a hook. Notice "My mother" and "harpy". Three things conveyed here: This is a child; a secret is implied; it involves a mythical creature. link »
Seems to me that writing about the girl's physical condition here is a way to sustain the reader's interest. Preceding paras are about seemingly mundane details that set the context of the story.
So this para here is to add in new and interesting plot ideas. link »Notice the use of White Spaces. link »
Notice how this one sentence has been singled out, for emphasis. link »
Statement is singled out for emphasis. link »
The plot idea: of a mythical creature coexisting with a typical city setting. link »

The title made me wonder "what lesson"? link »
The "hook". Notice how this line stands alone. And the direct concise way of writing. link »
Consider the author's choice of words: "tearing through". link »
The linkage to "lessons", i.e. even in death the deceased was still in a position to teach others. link »
Overall comments: The writing is in sequence but the use of white space, the logical sequence and insertion of commentaries/ reflection - the flow just makes the reading continue to the end. link »

Picture acts as a hook. Can you tell what it is? link »
Another hook. link »
The post doesn't quite tell you what is this event 40 years ago. But you can make a logical deduction from the clues. This is a way of "saying by not saying it". link »

A simple yet catchy title. Imparts a sense of the familiar. The subtitles is a further play on the "taste" analogy (peek into the person's mind?) and more hints of the blog's purpose. link »
This short post is an example of "saying what is not being said". Has a sophistication to the writing, yet direct and in short digestable sentences. link »
The About Me segment has the ability to draw the reader in. in the few para, it already shares much of what we didn't know of the blogger. Yet the blogger is still anonymous. But you already see the blogger as a person. link »
Notice the use of White Space. link »
