Analyzing A Blog

The reason that I chose this blog was to wonder what it would be like for a housekeeper working to make ends meat, then getting kicked to the curb like an old dog. I like some of the things that the writer has described in the blog about the family would have more money and you learn responsibility being a stay at home mom. I also like that the writer comments on how the family income issue is an important issue. She states that although one person brings in the soul income they are better off without a housekeeper.

Another thing that I like was that the writer was not so gentle she was harsh in some ways to the viewing audience. The writer stated that although her house may not be as clean as what the housekeeper could have kept it at, but that she will do her best to keep it clean and that the housekeeper could clean her own toilets. The writer believes that to be the best she has to do hard work and keep her house clean even when she has company over. Although not the cleanest house can still be a good house to walk into as long it is not completely trashed. The writer makes sure that she is responsible and cleans up after herself and her family when inviting guests over for coffee and an hour chat.

I also like that the writer believes in what she talks about. She describes that she does not have to live in a rich neighborhood to have a housekeeper but she likes the fact that she can be at home and watch over the house and kids. She also likes being back in her home country of England. She also says that she does not like that she moves from place to place, that’s why they rent their houses instead of purchasing them. Another thing the writer describes is that although the family has one income, she discarded the housekeeper because it takes money from the initially income that is brought into the family. She also does not like that she can’t re-fix the house up they are living in because she knows that they will move again.

I recommended others to view this blog and get a sense of how the writer feels when composing this blog. You need to view the good and bad side of it. Make sure to read it carefully a couple of times because if you read it fast you might miss important parts. Compare and contrast the ideas of what the writer wrote about. Also explain the rights and the wrongs of this blog, and tell what the writer should include or exclude from this blog. If you want to when you are finished you can comment on the things that you liked or didn’t like about the blog and let the writer know what changes you think should be made to this blog.
