"How Do We Write About Culture"

This reading talked about the difference and the similars of formal writing and informal writing, such as text messages and instant messages. It talked about how, even though its different, text messaging is a form of writing. This is something I have never about before because text messaging seems so much easier than writing a formal paper. In text messaging there is not formal wording. a lot of the time whole words are not even written out. when writing a paper, one has to it and think about the subject they are writing about. then come up with an opening paragraph, come up wit transitions that will make sense and an ending paragraph that will pull it all together. Text messaging and IMing is nothing like that. different thought can be separated with something as simple as a series of periods (.......).

I think my passion for writing essays and papers was one of the reason I feel in love with text messaging. One part of me can understand how some people can hate writing papers and love text messaging and IMing and another part of me could not understand it. Yes, one is harder then the other, but at the end of the day it all writing and making your thoughts and feelings heard.

Popular culture has made writing more interesting, esp. since now writing about pop culture can be done in school, even college now. Not matter formal or informal, more pop culture writing is being done and I think it is amazing.
