Ellen DeGeneres’ article This is How we Live was the most interesting article that I have read so far this semester. I truly enjoyed DeGeneres’ comical yet semi-witty (ironic and sarcastic) jibes at different forms of media and/or technology. At the beginning of her article she takes a rather scholarly tone/voice, however after she states her belief “Frankly, I think that modern technology is hurting us” (DeGeneres, 638), her tone/voice becomes very animated and personal. The two funniest sections of the paper were her dialogues about CD packaging and toilet paper/automatic toilets. One interesting thing about DeGeneres’ article was that no matter how comical she got, her article remained coherent and her points were easily understood :).
