While I am a little hesitant to discuss the venue and abstract of this blog, I felt it was worth the time to note its subject matter, considering it was authored by a sixteen year old “liberal”. This declared liberal actually has an opinion on his surroundings and doesn’t hesitate to voice them. I think that that is my direct appeal to the blog,” Unwanted Opinions of a Teen Liberal”.
After thoroughly reviewing this blog and taking the time to ponder its messages and biases, I must admit that I became a follower. The blog, “Unwanted Opinions of a Teen Liberal”, is penned by a sixteen-year old, young man who is trying to be as abruptly honest and opinionated through his interpretations in life. I find this blog rather course and exhibiting grammatical and spelling errors galore, but also quite humorous, interesting and sincere. It is through this blog that I can hopefully interpret my daughter’s generation by understanding the candid, yet biased views on everything from the Garden of Eden and the serpent to the ravages of his generation and the author’s perception of how his generation is affected by previous generations and affects the future generations to come.
I must admit this blog will not interest everyone. Its home view is rather bland and if not for the posts, I would surely scoff it off as a typical teenager venting his frustrations to the world. The only interesting combination is the books background which leads the reader to believe that this young man is truly interested in his education. The blog author is rather vague in his bio and never discloses any personal information, other than the fact that he is sixteen. This impresses me, because at least the young man is concerned about his safety, or maybe it is just to protect him when he rudely condemns others or expresses opinions that others may reject.
The author, I must admit, has opinions that aren't based on video game plots. He really seems to genuinely question the world and seems to be openly conscious about his surroundings both at school and on the news. Considering that this blog is authored by a sixteen year old and it is his perspective that we are reading, I must admit that I am impressed. He considers political views, religious views and educational budget cuts which affect his learning. His biases are realistic plights that affect and concern each and every one of us on a daily basis.
Again this blog isn’t for everyone. It isn’t a tutorial or a teaching forum, but instead a response for all of us who deem our teenager’s generation caught up in vanity, greed and selfishness. This author, while biased, concerns himself with very important political and religious views, which I am quite sure you and I are concerned with.
