Amber:

Directed Freewrite- Natural Behavior in Animals

You have a great use of quotes and explanation. This post was very well done and I really cannot think of any way to improve it. I would suggest giving more reasons for being able to compare humans and animals.

After All, Maybe It’s Biology (Pg. 310 #1)

I enjoyed how the two main paragraphs started with as question that you answered using quotes and explanations of those quotes. In your last paragraph, the quotes you used were seamless but I would have liked if you pressed your reasoning farther. Maybe use some opinions or examples from your life. This was very well done and cannot think of any way to better develop it anymore.

Katie:

What is Natural?

I absolutely love your idea of “natural” because it is very subjective. Your reasons what they call are natural are clear, but it is almost just saying the same thing on both sides. I would have liked if you took it farther and maybe used some quotes from the book that could help explain what some people think are natural and unnatural. Otherwise, this was short and sweet.

All You Need Is Biology?

I like how you start out with what side you are on. Your explanation in the second paragraph was well-written and agreeable. You pose a great question about marriage, which contradicts biology. You explained how chemistry and biology would affect various parts of relationships and love.  Your conclusion is short and to the point and makes it sound like a horrible thing. The only think that may help are using some quotes from the book, otherwise, this is a flawless post.
