Utilizing anecdotes and humor like the texts we explored this week to criticize something

 

I can’t speak for everyone, but personally, these blogs are about as enjoyable as a meeting with an annoy relative. Sure, I like free points for my grade, but nine times out of ten, I'm stuck with writer’s block trying to figure out what on earth to write about. This past weekend was a prime example—I found myself staring at a blank document with zero clue on what to write about. I often open up a word doc in an attempt to write about something, but ill ultimately just give up and get on a game with my friends (this may just be me having the attention span of a gerbil). This is probably my most procrastinated assignment, even though I almost always do my homework on the day its given. It’s a little annoying to have to reflect upon what you did during the week when you’re just trying to enjoy a relaxing weekend. However, when we have a fun topic to write about like the onion or the Maus blog, its not that bad because we actually have a bread crumb trail to follow. However, when we are told to just “write about something we learned or did in class” I feel more inclined to watch paint dry than to write the blog. For this week blog I had legit nothing to write about, all we did was do an ICE and read and analyze 2 pieces. I was complete devoid of any inspiration so I just wrote about my predicament, while obviously using humor and anecdotes because we did a lot of that this week.

    I also blank a lot when writing these blog posts, but I need the grade boost as well. I think that when we have an assigned topic like the meme blog during Sweat or the Onion blog, blogging is much more fun and interesting to do.

    I like how you incorporated humor into your criticism of this blog post! With comments in parentheses and phrases like "a bread crumb to follow," your humor successfully criticizes your feeling of having nothing to write about.

    I liked how you used humor and although you said you had no inspiration, you used devices that we talked about this week.

What happend to cancel culture?

Image
  Most of us are familiar with cancel culture, it’s when somebody is publicly executed online for saying something wrong. However, is it used for the right or wrong reasons? I can’t deny that it has been crucial for punishing various famous public figures for their acts of sexual abuse, predatory behavior, fraud, racism, or forms of scandal. Look at EDP445, a former YouTuber accused of predatory behavior, shows the impact of cancel culture. The internet came together to completely erase his presence on the platform, and publicly shun him. However, the misuse of cancel culture is increasingly prevalent, resulting in significant harm to innocent individuals. Some groups figured out that they could exploit cancel culture to silence opposing viewpoints or push their own agendas, regardless of the facts or context. An example of this is the word police, the world police have begun to use cancel culture to morph society to follow their agenda. Take Andrew Tate for an example, a huge role m

Bidden CAN NOT be a real person 💀 💀 💀

 https://www.theonion.com/biden-chases-soap-bubble-across-nation-1851265130   This was the satirical news letter that I read. " WASHINGTON—Clapping with delight while attempting to catch the thin, floating film of cleaning liquid, President Joe Biden chased a soap bubble across the nation Thursday, Beltway sources confirmed. “Come back, Mr. Bubble!” said the commander in chief, who reportedly gave chase to the bubble after spotting it emerging from the White House kitchen, drawing the curious president onto the West Lawn and down Pennsylvania Avenue as he avoided several near-misses with cars and 16-wheelers, finally embarking on the 1,656-mile cross-country journey that brought him to the Great Plains where he giggled with visible joy as a gust took the bubble in the direction of Yellowstone National Park. “You’re being so silly—even sillier than when you landed on that goose’s head and almost let me catch you. But that’s why I love you so much. You’re my

I want a wife

 How accurate was the “I want a wife” piece? The "I Want a Wife" piece which is written by Judy Brady is obviously a satirical piece of work that attempts to show gender roles and expectations for women within marriage. However, its solely catering to a feminist audience, so wont she just have a biased opinion? Brady’s entire piece is basically just criticizing men while empowering women in an attempt to lie about everything wife’s do. Yes, some of the things she says is true but if you combine everything she says and look at it logically it seems highly unlikely that a wife does all of what she says. Brady portrays the role of a wife as a gruesome task where they sacrifice their entire life to server under their tyrannical ogre of a husband. She provides unreasonable standards of what a wife does and makes it out to seem that every wife is perfect and hardworking while they slave away under their husbands just to be “replaced” if a “more suitable wife” appears. She says that
