Change in Voice

I do not think that my voice changed much on the blog throughout the semester, but my voice is different on my blog posts than on my papers and exams. Papers and exams need a professional and academic tone, however blogs are unique in that sense. Blogs are meant to be less formal, and are meant to allow people to quickly read them and take in the information that the writer is presenting. Blogs generally have more of a conversational feel to them, and we have little conversations, since we comment on other people’s blog posts.

Although my blog posts are more informal than my papers, I still try to maintain good writings practices such as grammar and spelling, since this is still a class assignment. I think my blog posts are more comparable to the way in which I present myself in discussion.

I really enjoyed doing the blog posts because I was able to share my opinions more freely and express my thoughts in a more conversational and less edited way.
