Blog Analysis

The blog I chose to analyze was titled K Poppin. She uses a differnt color for each blog she posts. You can tell that this person is female because of the colors that she chose for her background. She also has a picture of herself, that lets everyone know who she is. She doesn't have any additional items such as pictures or videos. She has a very simple page and it is easy to find things. Her page tells me that she is an easy going person who doesn't have to make a scene to get noticed. :)

Mother Tounge #2

In Amy Tans Mother Tounge she described how there are many types of english including simple english, broken english, and watered down english. As a writer it is important to write for what audience will most likley be reading your work. The triangles purpose is to ask and answer good questions, for example, Who is the audience?, What is the purpose?, and Who is the author? Tan explained that when she talked with her mother she said that she used watered down english so that it was easier for her mother to understand. Tan also used perfect english when she spoke to teachers and when she wrote her book The Joy Luck Club. I think that realizing who your audience is and adjusting your writing is what makes the difference between good and great authors. This also helped me realize that I need to adjust my writing to fit the audience that will be reading my work.

What is a Blog? #1

To me a blog is a way to share something with others. I can be personal or it can be general.You could talk about things going on in your life or problems that are going on in the world. Blogs can be funny, serious, sad, or they can have pictures and movies. Blogs are a way to communicate with a large amount of people without having to send a mass e-mail. They are more convienient than sending a letter... but who send through the mail anymore? If you need help with something you could post a blog about what is going on and get more than one or two helpful answers. Blogs are simply an easier way of communication!
