Where do I plan to go with my essay? (A little late)
I have already began the writing process of my essay, in fact I was already two pages in before we discussed and worked on it in class. I am going with the first option, analyzing my own blog the identity that I present. Initially it seemed like a difficult task, but with some help with analysis from the groups we had a week or tow ago I have a much better handle on it. From this analysis I plan to bring in and relate the article from Kathleen C. West and the article that I found, Desperately seeking Sameness. I will relate Desperately Seeking Sameness to some of my blog analysis, because I find myself relatable in my writing and the article is about the readers of diary blogs reasons for reading diary blogs. I will relate West's article through the fact that I am in a similar position as West in analyzing a student blog, although a key difference is that I am analyzing my own rather than someone else's, which adds another element to the analysis.

You are on top of your game it seems. Good to know that you have had two pages done for quite a while. I too am sticking with option one. It is beneficial to you that you know what you plan to do. Desperately Seeking Sameness is definitely relevant as I already looked at it with you in class.

ReplyDeleteAfter reading your essay I got the notion you have a clear understanding of your topic and you stay within it throughout the essay. Many times you reference the similarity between you and West, as you both are reviewing the identity within blogs. I too found this an imperative aspect of the essay. I appreciated your concluding paragraph when you stated the difference which to you was the ability to have "farther insight." I never really looked at it that way and that would be something you should mention before the conclusion as one of your main points in your comparison to West. There were fragment errors both those are easily fixable and I know you are on your way to writing a great paper. If you would like more extensive comments then feel free to contact me.
