Blog Analysis

http://www.everywhereist.com/

This blogger uses humour throughout the text to engage the audience. This is important as it keeps the reader amused and interested and not get bored of reading large amounts of text. The humour in this blog also makes it easier for the blogger to get her point across of how she felt about a certain situation, "I didn't recognise my own bedroom. Oy." Using the word, "oy", could perhaps show how confused she felt at the time or the disbelief that she couldn't even recognise her bedroom.
The blogger writes in a semi-informal manner and uses contractions such as, 'I'd' and 'It's', adds more a relationship between the blogger and her readers. Also, she uses synthetic personification to create a more personal bond with her readers.
The 'everywhereist', makes the text seem much more casual by using dashes, "the mundane routine of the everyday - the one that...", which makes it more approachable by a younger target audience. However, the blogger has also used colons to make it slightly more formal for an older audience, "Let me tell you: having piles of fresh clothes...". Also using a vast amount of exclamation marks in her blog posts shows the enthusiasm and excitement of travelling around the world and as it suggests in the name, travelling everywhere!
