Blog Post 5

This weekend, along with the rest of Mrs. Bross' english class, i read the first 14 pages of the columnist packet. I felt that all of the stories were a little pointless and i did not enjoy reading any of them other than the last two, showing how different men and women are. I didn't enjoy the other columns because the topic did not appeal to me or was a topic i had no idea about, or all in all had no care for. The column about hockey bored me, because i had no idea who or what they were talking about. The column about the Boston Marathon made me a bit frustrated because they were jumping all of the place talking about basketball and football and baseball, then talking about certain people, nothing really about the Boston Marathon itself, which i found completely pointless, speaking that the title made it seem as though the column would be about the Boston Marathon. "An image a little too carefully coordinated" felt very dragged on. I didn't understand the overall point to the column at all, it talked about different people wearing clothes then something about meeting the president in sandals, there is no literal meaning or reason for that column- for me, anyways. The column about Kate Middleton's dress wasn't even about her dress, just designers she could choose from to design her dress or even about someone else's wedding dress, i didn't see the point to that column either. I found the last two articles to make the most sense out of all of them, only because i can really relate to them, when it comes between my father and my arguments about little things, and how different opinions could be just between the different genders. 

Overall, i find the columnist unit, so far, to be a bit confusing and somewhat pointless, especially when the topics aren't even about what they're supposed to be about.
