formal or informal?

It is 12:13 AM and after reading the few posts that are up already, it is clear that most of them are formally written. One might assume that because we're interacting through the internet, we would immediately use our different forms of internet slang. Although, present a professor and a graded assignment, and everyone talks proper, using correct spelling and punctuation, haha. Each individual's blog is also written formally AND informally. The "get-to-know-your-peers" posts are informal and the way each person expressed them was formal.

In response to Burke's quote; everyone can relate to it. I personally love any description that starts out with 'Imagine...'. Right after you read that, you kind of look into the back of your head and completely visualize whatever is written after that. His quote's literal meaning is so easy to relate to for people because everyone has walked into a conversation and been lost but after a amount of time, they are able to "get in on it" and be a part of what's going on. Burke's underlying meaning is about life. Each of us come into the world, unknowing what was before us until we are educated on it and most likely we will leave something behind for the next people to be informed about and make their own changes and so on and so on. Mahoney's ENG023 Blog is our "parlor" and each one of us are members of the conversation...just leaving our mark for the next.
