I really thought that there was a huge difference in style between Hemmingway and the Smittenkitchen blog. I feel that when I read Hemmingway, the language didn't appeal to me. I like a more conversational tone and I found that in reading the Smittenkitchen blog. I thought that it was very creative in describing different types of food, along with kind of telling a story in the same way. Not only does the Smittenkitchen give personal family references, but the language is almost as if you're having a conversation with the writer, or atleast listening to a story.
Hemminway was too short and to the point with me. Not only was the read difficult because of the way it was set up, line after line, but there were periods after every five or so words. They were two completely different pieces but I would have to say that paragraph form is easier to read in my opinion. Also, I like the fact that pictures went along with the blog. Although that doesn't necessarily have to do with the style, it does appeal to the reader. I think that the Smittenkitchen blog was more reader friendly and I think it all comes back to the style. The way that the paragraphs interest the reader, makes it easier to bring the reader in and have them keep reading. In all reality, I find it hard to criticize Hemmingway. I think that although he has style that doesn't appeal to me, he still has a great skill in writing, and has enough uniqueness to appeal to a wide range of readers.
