Blog Post #6 responding to using comparison-contrast for a purpose

         Neat people are well... neat. If they receive a call asking for an obscure document they know exactly where it is filed away. They walk back to their filing cabinet and thumb through the alphabetically organized filing system until the pull out the correct document, and copies of the correct document. They are rarely late to any event because they know exactly where there keys are. They walk to the door and pull the appropriate key off of the key hook. They then proceed to get into their sleek shiny car that was washed the day before. They always have one of the new car smell air fresheners in all their cars. They move throughout everyday life without worry of losing a bank staement or their wallet because they are neat. They never let anyone down because they know where things are and they can always be trusted to be places on time.

Blogpost # 5 Responding to In your Journal Assignment

           I don't necessarily think that the author is poking fun at the people in the airport, the travelers. I think he understands why there are all these new restrictions while flying, but he just doesn't get why the travelers make it so difficult. So he gives a list of things to be prepared to do if you are traveling so that it might be easier and less frustrating to you and everyone around you. So I think the humor in this paper is appropriate because its not about the affects of september 11th, its more about the incompetant travelers.
