Response to a Reading

    While reading Andrew Sullivan's Why I Blog article in The Atlantic, I began to realize the true artistry that goes into creating an effective blog. I enjoyed the explanation of the freedom that blogging gives to writers to express themselves. Sullivan explains the struggle to remove restraints associated with typical forms writing when he says, "For centuries, writers have experimented with forms that suggest the imperfection of human thought, the inconstancy of human affairs, and the humbling, chastening passage of time" (Sullivan 3). I believe that blogging is the closest we have come to allowing writers to write without the necessity of perfection along with the freedom to write about their topic of choice.
