In class today we got to watch a
video about Mena Trott speaking about blogs. I really liked how we discussed everything in class, even though no one talked much opportunity was nice to have. When we watched Mena's speech she had mentioned a guy who could make money and support his family because of his blog. It made me wonder how many people use their blogs for something other than what I and most others use it for. I really liked how she used media in her speech; It made it more compelling for me. she discussed how she blogged about how her husband wouldn't let her buy a banjo, then a lot of people emailed her how he was such a jerk and she should leave him. I was thinking jeeze people take things so seriously and how things can sometimes be misunderstood in writing. I want to really try hard to get my point across without being misunderstood.
I think you make a great point--it can be really hard to get your point across without being misunderstood through a blog, or texting, or email. I think as long as you pay great attention to word choice, sentence structure, using capital letters, and punctuation you will do just fine! You seem to have a firm understanding and grasp on all of those things!
