The paragraph that I found very interesting was the third paragraph on page 84. I found this paragraph very interesting because people were going crazy, worrying about if the Salem Pax was killed in bombing and attacks due to our military against Iraq. I thought this was a bit ridiculous, just because he was from Iraq and because our country was at war with them, if he didn’t write on his blog for two or three days people would automatically think something happened to him due to the war. I’m not saying, that it isn’t a reasonable suggestion, but not everyone who lives in Iraq is going to get attacked and hurt because of the war. I thought that this paragraph was very amusing because I couldn’t believe that millions of bloggers would freak out over something that little, or even more so over a blog. “Salem Pax was the most famous blogger during that conflict (he later signed a book and a movie deal)” (Kline, 84). I think that this quote is ridiculous personally!  He became famous basically because he blogged about politics during the Iraqi war, and lived there as well. I don’t think that should make someone famous at all.  In other words, people could move to places that have issues in our world and blog about them and gain many of readers, and then hopefully become famous? I just think it is kind of ridiculous.  My conclusion, then, is that if you want to become famous then maybe you should start getting interested in politics and war and move to Iraq, or other places with issues and start blogging about them, then maybe you can get millions of people to worry about you when you don’t blog for a week, and maybe even get your own movie and book! I think it’s ridiculous, personally.
