How essays and blogs are different

An essay is a non-fiction but often subjective piece of writing. Almost all modern essays are written in prose, which is writhing distinguished from poetry by its greater variety of rhythm and its closer resemblance to everyday speech. Annie Dillard says, “The essay is, and has been, all over the map. There’s nothing you cannot do with it; no subject is forbidden, no structure is proscribed.” Blogs unlike an essay can be used as online diary. Since blogs are online you can combine the use of text with images and links to other websites with the related topic. The people who visit and read a blog can leave comments if they would like to. Like essay having many different types, blogs do also. The different kinds of blogs are artlog, photoblog, sketchblog, vlog, MP3 blog, podcasting and micro-blogging. Essays and blogs are different in which you can respond to the Arthur right away. With essay you can respond to the writer unless the essay you read is published. An essay is in depth piece of writing on a certain topic. A blog focus on one topic also but it doesn’t go in to great detail. Another difference between essays and blogs is the length. The length really doesn’t matter as long as you cover all the details. They are also different by the type of tense the writer uses in it. In an essay a writer would not use first person but in a blog it is the writers option so he or she would use first person. Essays and blogs are the same by means that the writer is passionate about what he or she is writing or they wouldn’t write. I think that essays and blogs hold the same value it just depends on the reader. Essays are better to read if you want facts as long as the writer did some research. If you don’t like to read a lot a blog would be your best bet.
