Argument of Literacy in the Blog
Being a Rhetoric major, I am always looking for the argument something is making. Always looking for terms to be defined, always wanting to interpret the 'true' meaning of what is being said and savvy enough to detect anything else that may be implied. When I log into the blog roll, I cant help but feel the sublimeness of all the literacy that is occurring throughout. Through hyperlinking, the size of our collective thinking that is interwoven through intertextuality is enormous. But through it all you can still see the thread that runs through us all. Their is a common discourse that we all use and speak of that is deeper than just the canonized readings that Dave has provided. There is a language, a way of thinking and a fluid ease in which we all speak our opinions upon the subjects we write about. There is a fearlessness that I see that is so pure, it almost resembles nativity. This is our literacy, the literacy of the Ed 140 class. The language in which we create in the community we have built. Our collective thinking is like a quilt: funky looking, a bunch of bright, contrasting, very distinguishable, patches of humanity that even though might not agree with the patch adjacent to it, find a perfect harmony within the community. Although it is eclectic, it oddly works, and boy is it comfortable;)
