Blog Review, "Bossypants, by Tina Fey" By Annalise Edwards

             While reading blogs, I came across Annalise Edwards’ blog post, "Bossypants" by Tina Fey. She talks about the book and what it is about. The book is about the famous comedian named Tina Fey. She talks about how it was in high school and how she became famous. However, she talks about how she had to deal with the cyberbullying and sexism. Adding on, Annalise thought that it was not fair that when a non-famous person gets bullied like that, everyone freaks out and helps them out, meanwhile, when it’s a famous person, everyone just leaves it for them to figure out themselves. I agree with Annalise, which is one of the reasons why I chose her blog post. I think that it is unfair to celebrities and that they should be treated as a normal person would’ve been treated.

            Although I did not read this book, I can agree with most of the things Annalise mentioned in her blog post. For example, when she talked about how many celebrities get bullied but no one does anything to help them. I agree with her because I too think it’s unfair because many people think that it’s okay that a celebrity gets bullied because every celebrity has “haters”. Adding on, I agree with her when she says, “Just because a person's face is on a couple screens a couple of times a year doesn't mean that they don't have actual feelings that actually get hurt sometimes. No one ever seems to think about that, or even cares to wonder if they're getting affected by it in any way”. Overall, most of her claims or questions is similar to what I would have wrote.

            The way Annalise summarized the book made me want to read it too. When she talked about how the book tells the story of how Tina Fey became famous, or how high school was for her, that really made me want to know more specific details, thus, I wanted to read the book even more than before. Adding on, the way she described what Tina Fey mostly talked about in her book also wanted to make me read it because it seemed like a funny book. For example,  when she said, “As for the sexism Fey describes in the book, because her whole attitude towards negative actions comes across in a smartass fashion, she somewhat disses the men who had wronged her, putting in full-on detail why their way of thinking had been wrong, and she metaphorically laughs in their faces since it was because she fought her way against them that she reached her goal: even moderate success on television”, that made it seem like the book, most likely, talked about her love life and had a few funny jokes too. Also when she said, “By including these things in her book, she proves (or at least proved to me) why sexist is no way to be when it comes to the success of a show-all you need is at least a couple outstanding actors or actresses, and you'll end up with a smile on your face”, that made me think more of how Tina Fey dealt with the sexism and cyberbullying, which made me want to read it even more. Overall, after reading this blog post, I no longer think that this book is boring, in fact, I think it sounds interesting, so I will read it.

            All in all, I really liked reading Annalise Edwards’ blog post because it was easy to connect to. In addition, her attitude throughout the blog post really helped me understand what she was thinking. Overall, I think Annalise did a very good job on this blog post.
