In the article by West, he questions himself with blogging, "What is the nature of literary response
as communicated via weblog?", he answers himself with responses like Theoretical framework and
research methods, and “Serious literature students” meet “Web-literate communicators”. He compares the Theoretical framework and methods. He made tables for different blogs. I find it organized and clear to make these tables. He compares Situated meanings, Social languages, Discourse models, and Situated identities; he puts examples under the categories. "Although the social languages involved in being a serious literature student and a Webliterate communicator are certainly inter-textual in themselves", the author relates the importance relation between of literature and blogging. He conclude the article by stating the pros and cons of blogging, being able to understand the students more.
I agree, when I first read Kathleen C. West's I also noticed that she relied on communication through the internet via weblogging. She does also makes her definitions of social language and situated identities clear in her article as well. Her article is very precise and filled with information about weblogging.
