Week 8 Blog Reviews

Amber:
After All, Maybe It’s Biology
This post was really well-written and easy to read. You use real-life examples about pheromones to support your ideas. My only suggestion would be to elaborate more on your specific points and maybe eventually write which view you support – love as a chemical or biological function or love is too complex for science. I really love the introduction of this post, “Thinking about love and courtship in a chemical and a biological standpoint doesn’t seem romantic at all” – your opinion comes through but isn’t too strong or wordy.

Directed Freewrite – Natural Behavior in Animals
This was also a very reader-friendly post; your viewpoints come across clearly and in an academic manner. You also did a very thorough job in using the text to support your claims. The third paragraph gets a little confusing – organization wise. I would just clean that up a little bit, otherwise this post was great.

Jordan:
What’s Chemistry Got to Do with It?
I really enjoyed reading this post. Your ideas are clear and although you didn’t necessarily “pick a side”, you were able to explain the chemical/biological actions and also explain why love cannot be explained by these sciences. My only suggestion would be to expand on your ideas and use some more textual support but this would be a really great start to a full essay.
