Hi my name is Robert Anthony, but everyone calls me Bobby. I live in Schuylkill Hall. I am from a little place in Reading called Antietam. I am a Physics major which automatically makes me a Math miner. In my free time, I like to hang out with friends, listen to music and play video games. I have read many of the blogs, and from what I can tell they are very formal. I believe this is because the blogs are graded, and these will be read over by the professor. As far as the quote by Kenneth Burke, it reminded me a lot of a blog because many people can search on the internet and end up finding a blog they know nothing about. After reading previous post they can get into the conversation make comments of their own, and then get bored with it and never go back to the site again. Another situation could be that the original people who started the debate may have left due to so many new people coming in. This may have resulted in the arguments purpose being completly lost because new people coming in and not completly understanding the purpose of the beginning argument.

I agree with you Bobby, the tone of a conversation can most times be easily detected by the words you choose to use in your conversation/paper. As far as this blog being formal, why not change that? If more of us make it a little more informal everyone will end up feeling more comfortable expressing themselves.
