The kitty blogger tells me how much she – let’s say the blogger is a woman – enjoys playing with cats. At first, the impression I get from her is that she looks obsessed with cats because she has pictures of them showing off their bellies and not any other position. In fact, her persuasive introduction to see the blog is Come worship kitty belly with us! As I scroll down the blogger’s page, it tells me that she might just be a fake cat belly rubber because on her Friend Links she included the Hepper website which is a tall stand that includes a bed for cats. It made me rethink if she had a cats’ fanatics’ blog for propaganda. Is she actually the person who sells these especial tall beds for cats? Then she has another one that seems to be only truly interested cats’ fans’ bloggers without giving any advertisement. I’m not sure what the blogger’s interests truly are for creating a cat lover’s blog, but they could be for advertisement, for fun, or just to be a productive and creative person who advertises for free in order to help cat owners to solve their problems.
But who needs a tall stand with a fixed bed on it? My Chihuahua who acts like a cat needs one because she loves to lie down on the sofa and on a rocking chair, but never on the floor. For this reason, I could say that the blogger seems to be a sincere person who only wants to help others, but one never knows. My conclusion is that I agree with what Badger has to say that “[t]he information imparted by the blogger’s photograph inevitably influences how we react to the words that surround it.” This depends from the point of view that we criticize or start to opinion about.

I enjoy your page, it actually seems like you enjoy blogging, as opposed to just doing it for class.
ReplyDeleteI like how you link, maybe add more photos to make the site more visual.
Nicely said. Badger was definitely right with the quote "[t]he information imparted by the blogger’s photograph inevitably influences how we react to the words that surround it.”
ReplyDeleteBecause once we see the picture the blogger has put up, we instantly try and put a back story on that person, like where they're from, what their favorite food is, or maybe even which cat they like the best.
Well done.
I thought the information about the kitty blogger was very intersting, especially how you interpreted the imagery as a woman who enjoys playing with cats, because that is how I would have interpreted it as well.
