My assement of a college's blog
The topic of legislation to be passed to allow students to carry guns on campus is Hot! In fact since it is such a trendy topic, I would like to point out two of my colleges' blogs. They had such a superb case for their argument, that I was amused and inspired by their brilliance. The blogger Hersteez intertwined a comical tone in her blog called, Known to blow fuses, watch your step, while S. Williams had a more blunt and realistic tone with, Allowing college students to carry guns on campus, seriously. I agree with both bloggers that, guns should not be allowed on campus. These two individuals did an excellent job at constructing their arguments.
Hersteez utilized interesting graphics on her words to convey the message. Italics brought out important supportive words and sentences, while words in bold showed the writer's frustration with the stupidity of the legislation. The excert of John Woods was great. She put the right twist on the story to catch the audiences' attention and support herself at the same time. This individual also had a great opening to her argument. The story gave humor and showed personal importance to the writer.
The Texas Proud blogger did a great job at connecting to the audience. This author's
target were students and teachers, with this aim they related the situation to the feelings of the audience. Which took place by asking questions. In the example of passing out papers to an angry student, the author connects with a professor's perspective.
Both individuals summed up their arguments clearly and effectively. What I have noticed on this topic is that the arguments for both sides are repetitive. The same reasons to have guns or not to, keep appearing, but no one wants to change their minds except for John Woods.
