Web Site Analasis

The website i chose to analise was cnn.com/crime. I did the crime section of it because I was particularly interested in what was going on nation wide with the crime these days. The organization is done fairly well, but I feel like it was a bit short and spread out. The audience primarily focused on adults. To my knowledge not too many kids log onto cnn.com in the morning befor they catch the bus. So I would say it is mostly meant for young and old adults. The purpose of the site is to inform the nation and communities with in it of the crimes that are going on not only nation wide, but sometimes even in someones city. The tone is rather dimeaning towards the person they are speaking of in the context. Today it speaks of an officer who was on duty and went to run errends while having a criminal in custody and while he was gone there was a hanging. Now the officer is charged with 41 counts of fraud and related offences. In the context there were a lot of logos and ethos used because the writer wants the community to see why the officer was accused and go along with the law in this case. The site is very easy to use and as soon as you load the site it has a list of different areas you can click on to see various areas of the site. It is easy to use and very easy to read to get a basic understanding of the site.

Analizing A Blog

I looked through a few profiles from the class and i decided to analize Mitzi C's profile. I chose her's because to me it stood out and had a more proffecional feel to it. When she does her blogging it is apparent that she takes time in what she does because most of them are pretty lengthy. Also while writing her blogs they seem like they are set up neatly and some have paragraphing in them. I know as far as myself when i post my blogs i just post one large paragraph and dont really set up my ideas very well. At least that is how it seems when i compare mine to Mitzi's. As far as Mitzi's color schemes, they all fit well on her page and none of the colors clash. She pretty much only has green, and black and white. I suppose she wants people to get the impression that she is a fairly serious person and takes her work seriously. I assume that she always puts a lot of time and effort into her work. As for her personality that may be different than the blogs that she posts. Her blogs also make me think that she is a very tidy person and likes to keep her things together and in order. All in all, she's done well on her page and I enjoyed analizing it.

Responce to Tans Essay

In the essay I read the author is Amy Tan. To me I think the audience is to a lot of different peole. A few different groups I would think stand out the most would be students from this day in age, foriegners, and multi-lingual speakers. I choose these three different groups imparticular, because they relate the most to what she says. I would say her purpose to writting the essay is to inform a variety of people that to make another person (no matter what genre) understand you, just be precise in what you are trying to say and speak with etiquite. People generally are never taught slang in school, at least not by their teachers. So to make a large amount of people understand you, go with you know, and were taught. Like my basketball coaches say, "Don't do it your way, because your shit doesnt work." I guess you can take that saying into almost anything in life. So my advice to everyone is to stick with what you know!

Why We Blog, How We Blog

I would say the easiest mode of communication would be through the internet or just electronically. Electronics are the basic modes of communication now-a-days anyway. The time it takes to send an email is drastically different than the time it takes to mail a letter. The web is instant and that's why i prefer it over anything else. Karl Kapp and Lisa Neal are the authors of the Blogging to Learn and Learning to Blog. They are trying to help people better understand what blogging is and how to use it. They are very helpful in what they say because they not only go through what each part of the blog is meant for and how to use it, but they also explain blogging as a whole and why we have it. I find their site very helpful and useful at the same time. I'm sure I will refer back to it plenty.
