We Eat Social Media for Breakfast

The author uses a lot of ways to get his main argument across. He uses a variety of literary devices as well. He starts off by going off the subject a little and starts speaking about what you need. Then the author switches back to the point and says the reason he did this is because he misses someone. Once the author says this it gets the reader thinking who this person might be. At the same time the author's style of writing is unformal. It is unformal because he uses a lot of short sentences, but at the same time he uses a lot of run-on sentences.

The author starts by going off his main argument to start talking about something else. He starts to talk about what tools you need to do this etc. Then the author starts to talk about how he did not understand the internet, but as time went by he would get the hang of it. Then the author starts to get back to his main argument a little bit by talking about how technology has come a long way. He also talks about how people use technology and pictures to communicate with people.

After the author gets off his main argument he starts to talk about it again. He states the reason he took a picture of his breakfast is because he misses someone. Once the author says this it gets the reader think who the someone might be. Is it someone like someone he likes or someone in his family that he really cares about and misses them. As the author continues to write we come to find out that the special someone is his daughter.

The style of writing that the author uses in his essay is unformal. It is unformal because he uses short sentences, but at the same time he uses a lot of run-on sentences. The author does this to get the readers attention and to get straight to his points. The author also writes in a style so he connects with the reader showing he is also human. He connects with the reader by doing this and also by doing this he makes his essay much easier to understand.
