Jasper: I believe you did a good job with this post for multiple reasons. The most significant reason why you did a good job with this post is because of your explanations of how people take on the process of pregnancy. You explained how your mother did things such as "read books" and "changed her diet". In the future to make your post stronger you should figure out other people's perspectives of birth. Not only figure out how the mother was affected by the birth but how the people around her (family, friends) where effected by the situation.

Amanda: The best part about your post was the three different outlooks you had examined on birth. It was also good how you the you made the people being interviewed elaborate on their answers; giving insight to their ideas. The most significant part of your post in my opinion was ; ""Its important to be prepared, to an extent but it is more important to trust the process [of giving birth], because its natural." This connects to the dominate cultures view on birth. This quote help shows that most people believe having children is what we are all suppose to do and is a standard majority of people follow.

Jasper: I thought this was really good I like how you listed out the key ideas in each interview and then went deeper into them after. My favorite part was: "In this interview the mother was concerned about the father's point of view about the pregnancy. I will like to do further research on how significant the mother believes the father's opinion is on the pregnancy. Also how important the father believes his opinion is on the pregnancy." This was interesting to me because it made me think about how both the mother and the fathers opinions on the pregnancy are important. The mother could want to keep the baby and the father doesn't want to (vise versa) but how will it affect the child and how will they feel about it? So it is interesting to think about who's decision is more important.

Christina/Mentor: Mentor/Mother: I enjoyed reading your post about the birth stories you collected, they were very interesting and also seemed very genuine. The most significant part of your post was in interview 3. Your awareness of the mother's concern for the father's outlook on pregnancy is very important. The Father's point of view is vital not only to the pregnancy but most importantly to the child.

Brandon/Protege: Cousin: I think the best part of your work was the question you asked at the end. I think it is because i find it interesting also how disease effects birth. Next time to make it better you maybe can ask more than one question since there were three different interviews.
