Blog # 6

   Humor to me is being able to make someone laugh. Maybe even just putting a smile in someones eyes. Its depends on who your writing to to make them laugh or even smile. There are different types of people,those who laugh about the smallest things and those who take awhile to find something that will make them laugh. Humor can come in different forms such as reading about something funny, watching something funny, or saying something funny.
   The article we read about the man who called 911 was funny in my point of view. This humored me because it was just plain stupid to call 911 in a case of stealing someones cocaine. That is a form of humor that can make anyone laugh.
   When i think of style, i think about the way a paper is written. Whether its in mla style or not. The different types of styles varies from one person to another. Many people can think of the way some look and dresses as soon as they hear the word style. This again depends on the individual.

            Comparing and contrasting the articles was a lot easier then the past essays. This was because you could us the TS/CD format to set up the essay. The TS/CD was easy to use but it was also easy to use the old information/new information format. Using both of the formats helped make the essay flow well. By using the old information/new information it’s filled in the blanks that the essay had.
            Although it was easy to write it, there was a difficult part. The difficult part was in getting it started. I really didn’t know how to get it started but after I got it started the essay was easier to write. I think that the introduction is the hardest part of writing a paper but after that it’s not so hard after all.
            Overall I think doing a comparing and contrast essay is a bit easier than any other essay. Mostly when you have a clear understanding of what you’re comparing and contrasting. At the end it depends on the writer and who the writer’s audience is.
