This discussion assignment leads into and will help you with the Response to a Reading essay next week. For your initial post, write at least one paragraph explaining what Deborah Tannen′s goal is with her article ″Sex, Lies, and Conversation.″ Note, this is not the same as her thesis. Her thesis is the point she is trying to prove; her goal is why she makes her point. What is she trying to accomplish with this article? Use specifics from the text to support your claim. Your initial post is due by 11:59 PM Wednesday. For your reply to a classmate, you need to respond to someone else′s comment about Tannen′s goal. You don′t have to agree; you don′t have to disagree, either. (Again, simply saying ″I agree!″ won′t cut it. You need to develop your response in at least one complete paragraph and using specifics from the text.) The student response is in the attached files
