the last sentence of a long tumblr post is important because it works as a summation of your idea. That is why I brought it back to my original point, which was that botw is lonely.

I replied to my own post as a way to show that I am switching topics slightly, like changing paragraphs in an essay. This is done often on long tumblr posts because it separates ideas, which makes the individual points easier to focus on.

informal/conversational tone fits the general tone used in Tumblr posts.

-Asking a question opens the post up for discussion amongst others in the community.

using the abbreviation for the game "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild" shows that I am part of the game community and know what it is commonly referred to as.

This reply is using ethical and pathetic appeal. The poster is using ethos because she is stating her knowledge and expertise as a RN. By saying she is a RN, she gains the credibility of someone working directly in the healthcare sector, AKA someone who knows the gap between the elite and the rest of us.

this is logical appeal because the poster is using facts to get his point across, which is that D. Trump is getting better care than every other American, which is unfair. I think its effective because it highlights just how much privilege the ruling class have.

The original tweet is using the pathetic appeal to convey their argument. I find that this appeal works because I am a sympathetic person and I can imagine how horrible it must have been for this family. My feelings about this argument make me angry that politicians are getting better treatment than a frontline doctor, which is what the original argument was intending to do.

This is so important! The internet is a vast and complex thing for youth to interact with, and I really believe that without the proper guidance from older people in their lives, kids can be severely, negatively impacted by stuff they might come across or get involved in on the internet. Internet safety should go so far beyond "don't give out your full name or address to strangers", and I think it should be a course taught to students in school.

I found this idea really relevant to what is happening in schools currently due to COVID-19. Many students are being left to their own devices (pun-intended) during this era of online learning to teach themselves school content while they distance learn because authorities (parents, teachers, etc) label them the "digital generation" and therefore think they can figure it all out on their own.

This personal anecdote makes me think of all the distractions that come with digital writing, and how it can be a double edged sword of productivity and procrastination. When you have the world at your fingertips, it can be as overwhelming as it is helpful, and the temptation to do anything but write can stop you from completing what you originally set out to do.
