Moms blog vs Shanks

Upon entering the site, I felt like this was more of a blogging website then Shanks professional organized blog of thoughts. These blogs are completely different. I feel like Shanks was more thought provoking and mindful whereas in the blog about the mom being a mother was more like watching an episode of desperate housewives. the material issues with each blog differs. I had to look up what medium meant, but now i know its the means for storing information and communicating. The moms means seems to just get her boring everyday mom thoughts out on the internet. I believe the mom is using the internet for SHOWING and BROADCASTING rather then Shanks WANTING and showing new ideas. Also, they are set up completely different. Shank seems like Adam Andrews writing for our Emailed assignments, varies spaces, and thoughts flowing on the page in how to do our assignment to really get the best thoughts down. The mom's blog was like how the English 102 class blogs. Some are kind of interesting to read but most are just everyday things that every average teenager goes through- " im sooo hungover" " im sick of this class" " im lost" "i lost my phone but know i found it" "my boyfriend is immature" (me :) ) ha. I believe they both use images in hopes to make a person feel the way that they are feeling. One example of Shanks is a picture of a mask, he wants to show how interesting and enduring it is. Contrastingly, the mom shows a picture of her "turdball" (referring to her child). She wants people to see the screaming child that of course she will still love because "how can you not love em". I believe the blogs are too different to even be categorized as BLOGS. Like stated before, Shanks is interesting and academic whereas the mom's is feelings, emotion, and blabbering. I feel like the mom is using the internet to draw attention towards herself rather then the work (writing) she is producing. People won't take the mom's blog as seriously. The mom's writing cant even be categorized as academic writing. Yes, indeed she does bring new ideas to the topic but its not really academic. Its more just inquiry. Shanks takes other information and asks questions and dissects it. Analyzing each subject, some that might not be important that he makes important. Whereas the mom just believes all her writing is important so doesn't use other sources to be critical
