Today's discussion in class really helped me to understand Shanks blogs. I would say that his writing is considered academic inquiry. Writing a blog is different than writing an essay or an academic paper because in the blog you don't have to follow a specific writing style. It's basically what you want to write and how you want your writing to be expressed. I think that Shank is basically using the blog to write about his life, so it would reflect him more as a person. But some of his writings are also academic.
When I looked at the blogs on dooce.com, I didn't think that it was academic. It seems like its just about the lady who writes about her daily life. Her blogs are not academic inquiry compared to Shanks blogs. The use of images affects writing because it gives the writing more life, and makes the writing more solid.
My spring break was pretty much boring...I didn't do much...work...catch up on sleep...hang out with the family and the boyfriend...yup...I just wish it would last longer...
