There are major blocks in the controversy of same-sex marriage. It is criticized by religious advocates. Many base their arguments on religious texts. They argue that it is sinful to engage in anything else that is not traditional marriage as stated in the bible. Equality also plays an important part in the controversy of same-sex marriage. Supporters of same-sex marriage argue that denying gay couples the right to marry is restricting them from their right of equality.
Post #9: Freedom vs. Equality
I believe that freedom and equality are both essential to a quality life; however, I believe they fall hand-in-hand. Equality is a major part of freedom. There is no possible way to be truly free without both. It is difficult to have one without the other. Having to chose a side I suggest that equality is of more importance. If everyone is equal then they would share the same benefit of freedom as presented by the Bill of Rights. Without equality, there could not be freedom because everyone would not be treated equally. During the Civil Rights Movement African-Americans fought for equality. With the fight for equality they were able to gain freedom.

The definition of marriage was pulled into the controversy of same-sex marriage. It is seen as the most important element in the controversy. Same-sex marriage is looked down upon by religious advocates. They base their stance on religious texts. They argues that it is sinful to engage in such acts and wrongful to allow such marriage. Same-sex couples are excluded from majority of federal documents and benefits granted by them. The definition of marriage has been shaped by the controversy of same-sex marriage. There have been revisions of the definition of marriage, but there is yet to be a definition that defines marriage in a form to fit societies needs.

Marriage:
The New Century Dictionary, published in 1927, defines marriage as, “The state of being married, or of being a husband or wife; the relationship between husband and wife.”
The Penguin English Dictionary, published in 1965, explains marriage to be, “legal union sanctioning the cohabitation and sexual intercourse of a man and a women, civil or religious ceremony instituting this, wedding; relationship between husband and wife.”
The Oxford English Dictionary defines marriage as, “The condition of being a husband or wife; the relationship between persons married to each other. This term is now sometimes used with reference to long-term relationships between partners of the same sex.”
In the Merriam- Webster Dictionary it is defined as, “the state of being united to a person of opposite sex as husband or wife in a consensual and contractual relationship recognized by law [;] the state of being united to a person of the same sex in relationship like that of a traditional marriage.”

When doing peer revisions I found common mistakes such as comma splices and the use of first person. It was difficult to revise my peers work because there was not any form of organization in the essays. I also noticed that the paragraphs did not pertain to just one idea. It made me reflect on the organization of my paper and it brought me to revise my essay. In high school I never wrote nearly as much as I have in this class. We also had more time to work on our essays. The essays I wrote in high school were mainly reflections/analysis of articles. The prompts for our essays in GEW 101 require more extensive critical thinking.

1. The commercial is misleading and fails to focus on the most important part: the health aspect of the chocolate.
2. Snickers does not effectively advertise to all possible audiences.
3. Snickers advertising methods are unethical and disrespectful.

Correct: The commercial is mainly comprised of young athletic men; however, an elderly lady and a elderly men are present.
Error: There was a needed for a semicolon because the second sentence was part of the same idea as the first.
This is the Snickers commercial I used.
Post 2: Commercial illustration
The snickers commercial begins with a group of young men playing football in a field. The sky appears to be almost grey and the sun seems to be setting in. In between the men, an old lady, played by Betty White, is spotted slowly running amongst them. A football is thrown at a bullet like speed past the camera. In the following instant, the old lady gets tackled into the mud by one of the men.She gets up from the ground and into a huddle with the men. One of the men tells Betty White, “Mike, you are playing like an old lady.” She responds with a hysterical comeback,” That’s not what your girlfriend said.” This is very funny simply because she is elderly and because she came up with a comeback in a matter of seconds. Mike’s girlfriend comes into the scene from nearby bleachers and hands her a Snickers bar. Betty White eats the Snickers bar and turns into a man. He then returns to playing football and within the following game an old man is seen getting tackled. As he is laying there on the ground he says, “Uhh... That hurt.” The commercial is followed by a Snickers bar being broken right in the middle and “You are not you when you are hungry… Snickers satisfies” is heard as well as seen on the screen in bold letters.
Post 1: Writting Process
I always begin my writing process by analyzing the prompt and highlighting the purpose of the paper. My next step is to writing down my topic or thesis statement at the top of a lined sheet of paper. Then, I write down all the ideas that come to mind, focusing on the purpose of the paper of course. After all my ideas are written down I group my thoughts into different categories, each group later conjoining to form a paragraph. Then I create a more organized outline. Creating an outline helps me keep my writing organized and helps me avoid getting side tracked while writing. After I type my essay I always go back and read it aloud, looking for grammatical errors or for a brake in my writing flow. Then, I rewrite an outline, but this time I work backwards. I examine my paragraphs and creating topic sentences that they would support, working my way up and creating a thesis statement that my topic sentences would support. Afterwards, I compare and contrast both outlines to assure everything is supportive of each other. I end my writing process by making and required revisions.
