Not to mention that my long analytical essay was about &#8220;why females need to go to college&#8221; and I talked about so many perspectives in that essay,\u00a0including improving personal ability, having a better understanding of\u00a0this world, and females having the same rights as males. That was a wide topic and easily I could find myself with numbers of resources to support my ideas. But, my endless analysis will not work well in a blog because this blog is supposed to be read by various readers. That is to say that I have to make adjustments and make the blog really appealing to people.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_46\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-46\" style=\"width: 250px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/hzhang4\/files\/2017\/03\/LWn9FOP.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-46\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/hzhang4\/files\/2017\/03\/LWn9FOP.gif\" alt=\"Frustrated GIF from Google Image. \" width=\"250\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-46\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Frustrated GIF from Google Image.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It was tough for me to focus on some specific points from a long wide essay and at the same time I had to make efforts to make the topic of blog interesting enough that could grab readers&#8217; attention. However, that\u2019s the thing I have to do because that\u2019s the core value of writing a blog-making people gripped by your blogs&#8217; topics and contents.<\/p>\n<p>I will not tell you that I literally searched: &#8220;how to make an interesting blog&#8221; before I started my first revised blog just in order to get some tips.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/coschedule.com\/blog\/fun-to-read\/\">https:\/\/coschedule.com\/blog\/fun-to-read\/<\/a>\u00a0Here is the link actually helped me a little and offered me some clues about how to make my blog more attractive and interesting to be read by people.<\/p>\n<p>Here are two tips I loved most and I actually applied these two tips in my blog.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Make fun of yourself.\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_47\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-47\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/hzhang4\/files\/2017\/03\/tumblr_inline_nbycdaYjiH1rjic88.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-47\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/hzhang4\/files\/2017\/03\/tumblr_inline_nbycdaYjiH1rjic88.gif\" alt=\"GIF from &quot;How I Met Your Mother&quot;\" width=\"500\" height=\"226\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-47\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">GIF from &#8220;How I Met Your Mother&#8221;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>At first I really have no idea about how to make my blogs more interesting than a full-dress, serious and formal essay. I don&#8217;t know how to switch the argumentative and analytical essay tone to a funny and cozy blog tone. Not to mention that I believe that &#8220;Why Females Need to Go to College&#8221; is such a significant and imperative \u00a0topic for people to pay attention to.<\/p>\n<p>So I made my first change in my blog; I changed the topic from <em>&#8220;Why Females Need to Go to College&#8221;<\/em> to<em> &#8220;Why I Need to Go to College&#8221;.<\/em> I limited the range of the blog and made the topic more focus on myself instead of all females. I believe that this revision can make my blog more easy to understand for readers because people can have a deeper feeling if they can receive more personal experience examples from the writer instead of some strong argumentative evidence from various popular famous people.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_48\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-48\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/hzhang4\/files\/2017\/03\/tumblr_n7ama3CwK01tcmyqqo1_400.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-48\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/hzhang4\/files\/2017\/03\/tumblr_n7ama3CwK01tcmyqqo1_400.gif\" alt=\"GIF from google image.\" width=\"400\" height=\"198\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-48\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">GIF from google image.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Since I had changed the topic to myself, then it was simple for me to make some relaxing and funny jokes about myself and <em>no need to worry about making the whole topic less serious and respectful.<\/em> I made fun of my personal experience in the behavioral hospital(It was terrible indeed) but I think it offered an excellent example for my readers to understand my situation and the facts which made me have thoughts like: Why I should go to college.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Make your post interactive<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_50\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-50\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/hzhang4\/files\/2017\/03\/1fe7e833d6713039d969597d8a9718f8.jpg.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-50\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/hzhang4\/files\/2017\/03\/1fe7e833d6713039d969597d8a9718f8.jpg.gif\" alt=\"GIF from google image\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-50\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">GIF from google image<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I shared links about the resources I utilized in my blog just in case that my readers want to learn more about them. This could also make my blog seem more credible and convincible. I also make some conversations with my readers directly in my blogs which provided the scene that I am just in front of them and not just some humdrum and dead bloggers who only exist in the screen.<\/p>\n<p>I enjoy the feeling of making some funny talks with my readers through the blogs which made my blog seem more alive than some serious-dead researching articles. The talking I had with my readers shortened the distance I have with them.<\/p>\n<p>I limited my topic from all the females to myself and gave the answers to my readers and myself in my revised blog: <strong>As a female college student, I believe that becoming a college student is the decision I made which I would never feel regret about it.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Just like what I said in my revised blog: college is not a medallion for my life, but it is a\u00a0<\/strong><b>ticket which could help me\u00a0enter a better life for sure.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The answers of why I go to college I figured out for myself are vital for me and I really hope they could offer some helps for my readers, too.<\/p>\n<p>So finally I can say that I compressed my long\u00a0analytical essay which looks like an Oreo(chocolate, cream made it look definitely something) to a concentrated compressed biscuit(not much ablaze but has some splendid meanings inside.)<\/p>\n<p>This is a totally unique experience for me and I think it demonstrates to me a new form of writing-blogging. These blogs are definitely not like those serious formal long essays but magically contain lots of beautiful ideas.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_51\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-51\" style=\"width: 468px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/hzhang4\/files\/2017\/03\/Andy-Dwyer-Saying-Great-Idea-1421185627.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-51\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/hzhang4\/files\/2017\/03\/Andy-Dwyer-Saying-Great-Idea-1421185627.gif\" alt=\"GIF from google image\" width=\"468\" height=\"263\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-51\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">GIF from google image<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>-A refection about how I compressed my long analytical essay into a concentrated blog.
