Best of Blogs. Jacob Darling

 SSC-103. Intro to college writing

 

 After completing the readings of my classmates Blogs I was amazed at how much I learnt, not only in the little things that were going on around me but the amount of extra knowledge I gained in day to day activities.

 

After reviewing the bloger page I came across a blog that referred to Michael Phelps. The blog was about his 12,000 calorie diet, it stated what he ate at breakfast and raised the question if it was healthy or not. In a typical breakfast he eats, Three fried-egg sandwiches loaded with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, fried onions and mayonnaise. Two cups of coffee. One five-egg omelet. One bowl of grits. Three slices of French toast topped with powdered sugar. Three chocolate-chip pancakes (Health Blog). This interests me greatly because I understand how important it is to eat healthy when you are training but to eat the amounts that Phelps does is simply astounding. It also raises the question to weather it is healthy or not. After reading this blog I could see the differences between my blog and that off my classmates. There are very few differences, however I did notice that BK the initials of the writer did put much more emphasize on the second question and applied little detail to questions three and four.

 

I believe writing those blogs and reading different peoples blogs and then writing a response to them has helped me produce a much higher quality of writing. Over the last three weeks I think I have improved a lot in my writing skills and I believe this is all due to having to complete a stumble upon and helium every week. In doing these they force you to use your critical thinking skills and expand on the main idea using examples and posing questions.
