Column reveiw

I really enjoyed the columns that we had to read, because I felt like i was actually having a conversation with someone. You find a lot in reading that when someone tries to put a voice in a piece of writing it sounds like a robot almost, but this was different. Although I liked them all my favorite was Advice,like youth probably just wasted on the young. I like this because I could relate this to the video that we watched, and because I could relate to this myself and take advice from it. It felt to me like a beneficial read.

One of the quotes that noticed that I was able to relate back to the video was, "Don't waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind. The race is long and, in the end its only with yourself." This hit close to home for me, because its kinda like that motherly advice your given that you just kinda ponder on for a while. Anyways I also noticed that this is personification or a metaphor because its saying how life is a race. I think that this more closely relates to the emotional appeal of the audience, of younger people, because I felt emotion while reading with it, and there was less moral or logic to it. I honestly cant wait to read more of these and hopefully write some.
