What is a Blog?

A. What is the difference between a blog and a book?
The difference is great in the way that the books tend to be something more unique than blogs while books stick to being long, having many details, preserve certain ways in which to write, and maintain certain commodities that blogs dont, since blogs are more concise and often give another aspect that might analyze or add to the topic.
B. How have blogs changed recently?
They have changed from being simply links with some sort of comment to become a more private matter which involves discussions and flows of ideas about different topics.
C. Why might you read a blog?
I might read a blog for several reasons, since blogs have a variety of topics. I may want to know the opinion of people who like similar things as me, or maybe learn about a new subject and read about different ideas people have about them.
D. Is there reason to doubt the objectivity of a blog? Why? Why not?
Blogs are many times written by normal people who are interested in the subject. They might write their personal believes concerning different matters. This is why you have to be careful reading the blog to know the difference between their opinion and actual information of a certain topic.
E. Identify three blogs that mention our summer reading.
