Difference between Blog#3 and E-mail Etiquette Essay

Today's blog, we are suppose to compare the difference between blog #3 which was, write a fake e-mail to a friend complaining about a bad grade we received. And compare it with E-mail etiquette which was, write a fake e-mail to your instuctor to ask for reconsideration on a bad grade you received in there class.

The fake e-mail blog was a little bit more simple. First of all it was a blog, and not an essay. Blogs are more of your opinions, or feelings about a certain topic. So it usually flows out better without much thought put into it. Secondly when you e-mail a friend about a bad grade it was more of you are venting, you can tell your friend how much you hate that class, how you think the teacher is not teaching, and just your true feelings about the class, It's about your emotions .

Versus e-mail etiquette where as I stated took me thirty- minutes just to get it started, and after writing it, I had to rewrite after seeking advice on it. In this essay you have to plead your case on why you think the instructor should reconsider your grade. And you would need to do this with less emotions as possible, and in a respectable manner. Also try to stay away from words like, your, you, mine, and so on. It doesn't sound complex, but after discussing it in class and getting a tutor I wrote my paper four times. The essay had a two page guideline, were the blogs only guidelines are no text language or street slang. I've been working on my paper for over a week trying to get it right, (which I still think its not right but that's the reason for the class to teach me to get it right.) Where on my blogs, I just go with the flow of it.

Blogs, that's what they are. They are your thoughts, feelings, and opinions. My opinion is, its easier to write a blog because the only guidelines or no slang and no text language. So when writing my blogs I'm really just saying what's on my mind and giving my opinion on each subject, its more like free writing to me. There is not a lot of thought put into your blogs. Its also easier to vent to a friend, than writing a letter of reconsideration of a grade to a instructor. With a friend you can say whats really on your mind, but with your instructor you want to watch what you say.
