Modes of Writing A Comparison

In this is post i will discuss the difference between two styles of writing particularly a blog and an educational document. First i analyzed a blog post in titled Testing Young Athletes for Heart Disease this discussed the way in witch you can help determine if a young athlete has heart disease and if this measure should be taken. The language in this piece is that of a common vernacular. it was very easy to read, and offered good insight to testing for heart disease. I then compared this to a paper published by the Annals of Internal Medicine. This was composed of a much different writing style, it contained long and perplexing sentences and words. It also dove much deeper into the aspects of testing young athletes. Overall i would suggest the Annals of Internal Medicine for anything other than light reading because it offered so much more than the blog.
