Today I am going to do these blogs a bit different. Normally I would just answer the assignment and get it over with. Today I am doing it a bit more casually and you an already tell because I am writing this part.
So today our professor has updated Essay 2. Instead of there being one option, now there are three options. We aren't limited to just writing about our first topic which was writing about our own blog. We can also write about a different blog and apply what west's framework to examine the blog or research and locate three other scholarly articles that have a similar conversation to West's. I, however, will be sticking to the original assignment. I wanted to take a challenge for this second essay and examine my own blog which the Professor said was a little more difficult. I also wanted to do the second option which is to examine another blog and apply West's framework to examine the blog but a question hit me. I wondered if I could continue examining the blog we did for essay one but instead use a similar layout as West to complete the examination.
Question to Professor Thompson: Can we use the blog from essay one for our second essay?
Just a little question for our professor since I know she is following us.
My position in the article is agreeing with the argument. Yes it is easy to agree with something but you still have to put the facts behind the agreement, otherwise it becomes useless. So I will respond to West by adding to the research with my own examination of a blog (either mine or the blog from essay one). I will basically provide my own research and my own thoughts into the whole situation. The way I see this is that it is really hard to disagree with West's argument and honestly I really don't know how I would if I had to without any guidance. I find it easier to simply agree and put forth my thoughts as well as the evidence to prove that. Then how will I apply West's essay to mine? Well I will simply quote from her the things that I find as evidence that connect with the blog I examine.
Boy this blog post has got me completely engaged with my work and made me think about my essay thoroughly. Now I just have to stop procrastinating and do it.

ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you have some sense of direction of what you're going to do? (haha epic blog) I considered the first two options as well but I thought they'd be a bit redundant after the last essay. I don't think you necessarily have to disagree with her article, just contribute to the discussion.
