Response to quote number 2
The quote that reads, “Online blogs directed at peers
exhibit fewer typographical and factual errors, less plagiarism, and generally
better, more elegant and persuasive prose than classroom assignments by the
same writers.” I think what Ms. Davidson is trying to say in this quote is that
online blogs for school are better and more beneficial than classroom
assignments that are done by printing or paper. She is trying to say that you
receive fewer errors by doing blogs and there is much less plagiarism. Going
into this writing class and hearing about doing a blog was not the brightest
thing I thought about. But after doing the blog for about a week now, I find to
enjoy it much more than printing or writing out work. A blog is much more
exciting for the students who are doing the work. It is a simple task at hand
and is a more creative way of doing assignments. This quote is completely, 100
percent true in every way possible. When I first read what she said, I did not
think it was her own quote but instead I thought it was a fact that she was
just repeating. Everything she wrote in the quote is completely true. There are
much less typographical and factual errors. Plagiarism is barely a factor when
doing online blogs. I chose this quote over the rest because I thought it was
the best of the four and because I thought it was true in every aspect.
