West's Essay compared to essay 2

West's essay outlined the importance of identity in blogging. West intricately covered the topic and directly linked identity with three students. The background information helped me to visualize what a good foundation is to set your paper up. I really appreciated the fact that it was relayed on how each student used academic rationality and logic, yet incorporated modern day lingo from the younger generation. As a result of the essay, I was able to infer that identity was shown in opposing ways by each student yet the support and detail remained one focused on sholarly detail. This essay is a huge help. I know what I have to do for essay 2, and this essay is a format I will closely relate with. If you think about it, West follows the same format but goes much more in depth on certain points such as background information and her coverage of each student. I could see the voice in the essay as well as relate with each of the students. Being able to connect with the examples in the essay demonstrated the importance of a successful essay and how to make yourself relatable. I have a lot of work to do, but this essay will really help.
