blog 2


1.       Some features of a blog are that you can use slang and contractions. So basically you wouldn’t have to be so direct. These differ from print sources because you must have formal writing, cannot use contractions, and also you cannot express yourself as freely as you could with a blog.
2.       Hourihan feels that blogs are a communication revolution because blogs are how a lot of people express themselves.
3.       Keeping a blog for this class could be advantageous in many ways, such as you get to see your writing improve over the semester. You will be able to pick out the different techniques that you have learned to use and that you can apply them to everyday writing.

  1. I totally agree with the fact that a lot of people use blogs and other social media tools to express themselves. You don't have to be so formal in your writing in a blog, so I agree with you on your first point. I think that in a way it gives people some creativity when they aren't as formal.

  2. I agree with everything you have said that it can be a advantage in a alot of ways also it does have to be formal writing in a blog to better understand what the person is saying.
