Looks Like African-American's Don't Agree on Everything
Today's article is about same-sex marriage laws, again. As you can see, this is a topic I am very much for. The article likens it to the civil rights activists of the 1960's, and how many young people (myself included) see it as their generation's civil rights battle. It provides a lot of information about what has been going on in Washington, D.C., and how everyone is reacting to the approval in the district. The first thing I noticed was that it kept referring to Washington, D.C. as "the District" and for readers like myself who usually do not read the Washington Post, it was slightly confusing at first to figure out what they were referring to. Another thing I noticed was that during a quote, there was no use of punctuation. The speaker was listing off the types of support they will provide, and nowhere in the list was a comma, which bugged me. Overall, though, it was a well-written article.
