This articles title really caught my attention since all of us have been blogging for the past semester. The article's intent is to inform the audience about this bloggers four month prison stay for speaking out against the constitutional monarchy that Saudi Arabia uses. It is very easy to understand and full of facts. Although there is a bias that the author is in support of this blogger, it did not hinder his argument against the constitutional monarchy in Saudi Arabia. He provides other examples of bloggers and journalists being jailed for speaking out against the government. The author says he is from Saudi Arabia, which definitely increased his credibility. It was a great article that not only informed the reader but gave a point of view of a citizen in Saudi Arabia and how they live day to day.
