You Aren't Listening!

I think you did a very good job with this post. You are an outstanding writer. I liked that you summarized Tannen's ideas into your post rather than using quotes throughout your entire post. When you did use quotes you used them at it's best because it made your points stronger. The format of the post was good. I especially liked how you gave a brief summary of the article in the beginning, than focused on some of Tannen's theories, than gave a real-life example to help illustrate these theories, and finally ended the post with a well conclusion wrapping up the ideas and concepts all together. Overall, you did very well!

Working Through it

You defined evolutionary psychology very well in your post. I like how you touched based on the subject of cheating and infidelity. This topic alone is an emotional issue and has many opinions as well. I definitely agree that cheating is one of many issues to the cause of divorce within today's society. The use of citations and summarizing that you gave made your post flow very well and was very interesting. You are a strong writer! Good Job!

Jade:

Just being a Male can be deceitful

The post itself flowed nicely. You used good ideas and theories to get you point across. The post seemed personal even though you used some of Tannen's theories. To clear up my last statement is was more of your opinion but your opinion was well stated in the post which made it interesting and easy to follow. Overall, you did a good job.

Till "Divorce" Do us Part...

This post was very well written. It was very interesting and easy to follow. The citations you used complement your thoughts and ideas very well. The conclusion was good and had strong stance in what you believed. I have to say that the beginning was a little rocky and confusing but as the post went on I began to understand the approach you were going. You did very good.

Lost in Translation

I think you gave a good example to help support you ideas and thoughts. In the beginning I was not sure if you used the article in your post so I had to scroll down to see if you did. Once I saw that you did about half way down I went back to the top and read over once again. The post flowed well. The only comment I have is maybe to use the article in the beginning of your post where you develop your thesis, so the reader can get a better understanding of the direction your choosing. Another would be to strengthen your conclusion, the ending seemed short and dry. You are a good writer and the post overall was very good! :)

Is Monogamy the key?

I loved this post! This one was very well written, especially the thesis. I agree that marriages can be difficult but just because they are difficult does not mean a person or couple should quit with relationships. You made good points and the citations that you used compliments your thoughts and ideas very well.. Good job!
