Anonymous.... Did you click the next button at the bottom of the paragraph?? There are several pages to this article!! It's great Danielle!! I'm actually citing you in a paper I'm doing for my Sociology class!!
Thank you. When I wrote it, I was a college freshman. It actually exceeded the page limit for the class.
You have made valid points, but you should have expanded them more. I would consider this to be more of a paragraph than an article, and so I was surprised to see so many references...
This was a wonderful article. You did put a lot of work into it. Great job!
Wow, you really put a lot of work into this. Great reporting.
