TMI Response: Is the Internet Colorblind?

Anonymity and the internet has been an ongoing topic from the very beginning. The beauty and unbecomingness of anonymity on the internet is a double edged sword that the internet community is just going to have to live with. One of the reasons why the internet and PC games like second life specifically have become so popular is because this medium gives people the ability to create a new identity. One they can shape and control right from their couch at home with little effort. On the other hand sites such as Facebook have gained popularity because they require a concrete and precise identity, which in turn holds users accountable for their comments and postings. Overall the internet provides a space for discussion, conversion, and deliberation where the biases of race, gender, cultural background, age, and ethnicity can be excluded. Where else in the world can that be done?

Stephen King's "On Writing"

      Stephen King's, "On Writing", is a fun and quick read full of humor and wit.  The honesty and sincerity King writes with is refreshing and shows how much he cares about the subject.  There are many how to books, but there are none quite like this.  King's interesting and humor filled take on grammar entertains the reader, while feeding them a wealth of knowledge and helpful tips.

      King describes the basic rules of grammar and lays the ground work for good solid writing.  His wisdom and insights are truly helpful no matter what level of writing you are at.  The sincere and friendly tone of "On Writing" clearly are instrumental to not discouraging inexperienced writers, such as myself.  Before I read the book my perceived judgment was of Stephen King ripping other writers' bad habits and writing flaws apart and talking in frustration about the simple never correctly used rules of grammar, but this simply is not the case.  I enjoyed reading King's "On Writing" and would recommend it to any student planning on attending college.
