Hi, Taylor,
ReplyDeleteThis is good work. I'd like to see you expand upon these by adding more definition from the texts you've read as research. One of the goals of this assignment is to begin thinking about words as constructed by people and society. Here, you give us a bit of a sampling of your own ideas, but in others, you cite your roommate when you could be citing legit sources--no offense to your roommate. Does that make sense?
Overall--strong effort. I'm not seeing the kind of involvement of sources that I'd like to see you work with. But a good effort.
