"Bodies of the Year" homework

For next class, please read Wesley Morris' article "My Bodies of the Year" and respond with a 350-500 word blog post. In your post, please do not summarize the article; instead, engage with the ideas. Do you find Morris' argument compelling? Can you think of more/better examples? Can you think of counter-examples? Why do bodies matter? Do bodies matter more or less in 2014 than they did 10 years ago? If you don't want to talk about the content, focus on the formal elements. Do you think his essay balanced ethos, pathos, and logos? Was his use of the personal story of his mother effective or not? Remember that blogs are multimodal forms of communication, so feel free to link pictures, videos, and other websites to your post.
