A rant to the author is when someone goes on about a subject just talking and making a point. not neccisarilly yelling or shouting and going on strike, but just putting their point out there.The baseball example is how one person writes an article saying one manager is better then the next and the best ever and no one will be as good as him. but the author disagrees and things the opposite, that someone can be better

2.How has the rant changed in the age of the Web?

Well he talks about back in the Roman erra ranting was condisered blasphamy and innacpropriate. people were caltered in the street for it. now lots of people write about things that they dont like.

3.Does this essay of definition look at negation, categorization, history, analysis, comparison, examples, results, or causes?

This was and example type of esay because he uses lots of examples to explain his view on ranting. He tells about history and writers and poets and perverts, etc..

4.Quote from the article in a blog post to note which elements of the definition essay the author focuses on?

“To the girl on the metro with the cleavage.” He talks about a man who was accused of being a pervert but he believed it was the girls fault for wearing such a low cutt shirt and ditracted him from his day.

5.Are rants bad?  Should we indulge in them for no other reason then catharsis or expression? Or is the world already too mean?

No rants are good sometimes because you can release a lot of anger that maybe youve been holding in for a while about something you dont like.
