Blog 4- Paranoias



The pathos of the writers reflect the tone and voice of the authors. I read a blog titled Seven Funny Paranoias We All Have. It is a humorous post about different quirks that people have, from setting an alarm and checking it numerous times to make sure it is set, to checking the back seat of your car before you get in. The one that touched close to home was the paranoia that the car driving behind you is following you. 
This is an active blog post, meaning that people are continuing to comment daily. The majority of the posts are funny and informal, focusing on identifying a connection with the blog community. Generally, the posts are relaxed in nature, and are seeking to connect with one another. 
There are other bloggers who are replying to comments that are different from the author. I recognized one of the commenter’s name from a blog I had read previously. This suggests a strong sense of community because the bloggers are involved in one another’s work. It displays a sense of support between the bloggers and commenters.
 
The purpose of the comments appears to be to have opinions heard, and as previously mentioned, to connect with eachother. There is no option to incorporate images in the comments, only the blog poster has the opportunity.

  1. Good post! I really enjoyed this website! It is quite entertaining to realize that these habits are more common than I thought. Calling them paranoias is a little bit of a stretch in my opinion; if this was the case than most of the actions we do could be considered paranoias in some way (brushing teeth= paranoid of bad dental hygiene, doing homework=paranoid of failing, ect.) Overall great post on this blog I really enjoyed the comic relief; somehow it made me feel like...one of them. Haha

  2. This is hilarious because we all have these stupid paranoia's. Just like when a police car is driving behind you, I always freak out that he is running my number plate even though I have a clean track record... stupid!
