Week 6 Blog Reviews

MARY

Virtual Family:

I really enjoyed how you introduced your blog with personal experiences relating to the subject. I find it funny that my mom has a facebook also! Yet, she takes about 5 minutes to text two words to me. I also thought it was smart of you to point out that there are many different definitions for a family. I also thought your blog had really good organization; you started by relating to the topic, then stated facts and quotes from the book, and then closed with answering the original question. I like your writing style, it is almost as if you were talking about the topic in person. Overall, I thought the organization was good, I liked the personal relations to the topic, and you made some good points!

Disney Gone Wild:

I really liked the title you chose for the blog! I kind of laughed as soon as I saw it, but everything you pointed out in your blog was entirely true and probably applied to more than just Ariel. I never would of thought about that in that way. Again, I saw that you had really good organization, by having an introduction paragraph, a paragraph stating facts which support your claim, and so on. This makes it very easy to read and comprehend. I also thought you chose the perfect quotes to go along with your claims. I enjoyed reading both of these blogs, especially this one!!




WHITNEY:

The Evolution of Family:
I thought you made some really good strong arguments in this blog. I thought you also had a really strong thesis statement, with pointing out how much technology has changed in the world. I liked how you pointed out how different gender roles have chnaged within the family as well, by using the following examples, "The man of the household evolved into the breadwinner while the woman continued to stay home to take care of the children, cook, clean, and accomplish any other homely duties." You, like Mary, also pointed out how there could be many definition in the family these days.

Girl Power:

I haven't watched the movie Anywhere but Here, but after reading your blog, I would be interested in watching it. I really liked how you pointed out that in American fiction, heterosexual marriages are rare, and this could be Hollywoods way of portraying the truth because more than half of marriages are divorced. I also thought it was smart to talk about the daughter contrasting to the mother, both have very different plans, yet stay true to them, which I agree with you, is inspiring. I think that you used perfect quotes to relate to your topic as well. For example, how they both used their sexuality, like Thelma and Louise. I thought your blog has alot of interesting point of views and I liked that you closed you blog with an opinion.
