1.) Since my topic is about Video Games I am assuming that my audience will be my peers, teachers, parents, and children. I think I will have a broad audience because my topic is current because of the rise of gamers around the world. More and more people are playing Video Games, the percentage of gamers have skyrocketed in the last 10 years. Most gamers are between the ages of 17-32 but 16 and below are finding Video Games more popular now too.
I care about my topic because I am a gamer and I am sick of hearing about how Video Games are supposedly 'bad for you'.
I think high school teachers taught to not write personally in essays to keep from arguments in opinions amongst peers and to teach students how not to be bias. I think college professors want students to be more involved with their essays because that way the student will try harder because it is something that they actually do care about. Caring about a topic will ultimately improve a students writing because they will actually try.
2.) There are only two view points that I have found in my research and they are: people that like Video Games and people that hate Video Games.
3.) I learned that Video Games can help to train your eyes for better night vision.
4.) I commented on Kyle Danzer's second blog assignment. I recommended some research material that may be of use to him during his research.
When you have been searching for beneficial sources for your topic, have you been able to find websites, articles, books, etcetera that have said more positive things about video games or has it been the other way around?
