assignment（read files and answer the two questions)

Please make sure to use Times New Roman, 12 pt. font, and double line spacing--just as you would for a Major Paper.

Make sure to respond to both questions thoroughly, using specific details and brief quotes from the text to support your answers. In short, show me that you read and thought critically about the assigned article. Each of your answers should be about 1/2 a page, double-spaced. Ultimately, you should be submitting a full page of double-spaced text for this assignment.

1. The author's conclusion states "Marriage has changed because America has changed" (par. 35). According to the article, in what ways has it changed and what are the likely causes? Do you agree? Why or why not?
   
   
2. Do you find the evidence and sources in this article credible and convincing? Do you believe the author provided sufficient evidence to support the thesis? What can we, as academic writers, learn to do mimic or avoid by studying this text? Be specific and thorough.
