In this post I will be explaining about the purpose of "Kate Norquay's blog" Source:  https://www.huffingtonpost.com/kate-norquay/what-i-learned-four-years-working-at-mcdonalds_b_8682928.html?utm_hp_ref=tw Source:  https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Autonomy,_Mastery,_Purpose_(11134670423).jpg Purpose of this blog: After reading Kate Norquay’s blog, I feel its purpose is to ‘Reflect’ what other people think about her job and how they are trying to degrade her. As you read the blog, you will observe how people’s opinion about her Job has an influence on her.
