This blog is a support blog for people who have fought cancer, who are fighting cancer or know anyone who has cancer. The blog is called My Breast Cancer Blog. The blog is inspirational and shows readers that there is hope. The posts from the blog I chose demonstrate different aspects that tell us about ethos of the writer. The first post we see is a story telling about a woman who is losing her hair due to cancer. The short story shows how the woman is always being positive and looks on the bright side of things. This post shows that the writer believes staying positive is key to staying strong.

From the second post I chose, we can see that the writer herself fought cancer. We know that she is 34 years old and this blog is about her story of going through cancer along with inspirational posts. We can see all this from the title of the blog and the little bit of information she states at the top of her blog. The writer of this blog doesn’t look like a researcher and doesn’t post many facts about cancer. But we can see that the writer has had enough personal experience to write about the subject and has determination to help others.

Continuing to read many more posts I began to feel sympathy for this woman and for the cause she’s fighting for. I picture this woman being a strong and determined individual who would never give up a fight. The casual tone of the blog gives the impression this woman is just like every other woman; she is just speaking up for many women who may not be able to speak for themselves. She gives us links to other posts and news articles all about cancer and the ongoing fights. It shows something that could have taken her life has given her life more meaning.
