Blog About Atlanta by Nicki Meyer

The blog i read was "It's great to be "in Decatur" Georgia." It is about a small town roughly six miles from Atlanta, GA. Building restrictions keep major skyscrapers out of Decatur, leaving its tallest buildings only reaching six stories high. The small town atmosphere completely contradicts the city, known as the nation's fifth largest, only a few miles away.

This blog gives the reader a sense of a quiet, small, friendly town with plenty of shops, schools, and restaurants. The focus is directed on Decatur, Georgia and all it has to offer, though its population is no more than 18,000 people. Numerous legal firms have gone through here due to Decatur's County Courthouse being one of its major buildings. The writer makes it known that it is a very friendly environment with plenty to do.

The tone of this blog is very informative, and casual. It gives a lot of information about the town and is very descriptive. The multimedia helps give a clear description of Decatur. Visuals are used by pictures that show sites of the town as well as a map. Written media is obviously used with the informative writing and descriptions of the town. Electronic media is used because it can be accessed online. Pictures give the reader a sense of nonverbal media.

This topic of Decatur Georgia was to give some basic, positive information about a small, quiet town not far away from one of America's largest cities. It is written about in a positive way, as well as very descriptive. The writer accomplishes their purpose by giving the town of Decatur a good, detailed description to those who have never heard of or seen it before. It seems to be a small, pleasant escape from a huge, wild city.
