For the most part the students that have blogged on this site are really formal. This was a surprize to me at first, because most people that talk online or use the internet are very informal. I also remembered that this is a grade for the class so maybe that influenced them to talk more formally. After looking at Burke's quote in class I think that most people can relate to that situation in which you enter a conversation late and it takes you awhile to catch on. I personally have had that happen a couple times. I also think that Burke sums up the fact that life is an ongoing process and continues regardless of our passing.
