Columns!

After reading quite a few columns about everything from a history making hockey game to a 4 year old's birthday party, I've realized that columns cqn actually be pretty fun and interesting to read. What really grabs my attention witg columns is that they illustrates someone's view on a topic in what can either be a comical or impactful way - or sometimes even both! Another great thing about columns is that they are fairly short, therefore, the reader doesn't start to get bored throughout the piece or for the fact that you can simply read one without having to devote so much time towards it. This is great for me especially because I dont always like to have to devote so much times towards a piece of reading and so it's so easy to be ablento just pick up a column and read it without it extending over a long amount of time.

 But anyways, I bet the ladt thing you want to read about is my own reading habits, so I'll keep moving along and tell you some more about the columns I read today.




 Out of the many that I read, my favorite column was, by far, "What will Kate Middleton's wedding dress look like?" by Robin Givhan. This columnist used numerous amounts of rhetoric techniques,  such as figurative language, rhetorical questions, and sentence fragments. For example, in the third paragraph,  Givhan uses two techniques in this quote, "The detailed description is based on...nothing. It's pure conjecture. It's a game. Shall we play along?" This one little quote shows multiple fragments, which bring detail to this section of thw story, showing its importance.  Also, Givhan uses a rhetorical question at the end to bring the reader into the rest of the whole column, where she fantasizes about Kate Middleton's wedding dress and taking into accout every single designer that coule be used to make it.

 These columns have opened up new doors in my reading and I can't wait to read more and more!
