Week 8 Blog Reviews

Jade:

Your post “Happily (N)Ever After” had a lot of really great points in it. I especially like how you mentioned that many people view love as a learned trait! I just thought that that was a great way to express the idea, it really resonated with me. I also liked how you brought up fairy tales, I thought that they were super relevant to this topic. Great use of support from the article, it really fit in well with your points. Also, I totally agree with you about keeping with the perception of love being mysterious and mystical rather than scientific and cold. It’s way more fun that way! The post “To Be or Not to Be…” definitely had strong points in it as well. Again, nice use of quotes from the reading. You did a really nice job of expressing your own voice and ideas in this post.

Krista:

“Ray of Light” was really nicely done. I felt like you clearly and cleanly expressed all of your ideas and touched on all of the parts of the question. Also, the way in which you explained how homosexual relationships in the animal kingdom can either be used to support or opposed such relations in the human world was dead on. I liked how you brought up the point that this debate will continue for years to come. I especially liked how you pointed out that information can be interpreted differently simply by who is looking at it and analyzing it. So true!

Monique:

In your post “What’s Chemistry Got to do With Love!!” you brought up some really interesting ideas. I thought that they way that you said that love to you is more than just a marriage certificate was so great, amusing and true. I also really like how you brought in the idea of love that is illustrated in movies since it is such a contrast with what the article was saying about love. I really like the way that you started off your other post “Is Homosexuality Natural??” with a brief history of the “causes” of homosexuality. You used some really good quotes from the articles, they really fit in with what you were saying. Your point about the individual’s personal beliefs being what really mattered was very good. Really strong ideas!
