During the discussion you talked about how currently people learn their family values and family trends from their parents and that is how people learn to live their lives. I found this interesting and also agreed with it. I agree that traditions are passed on through generations when new families are formed. You mentioned how in the 1950's people were forming new values and new traditions based on the changing circumstances and new perspectives on life after the war. A quote you used to support this was "The American youth of the post-war period, unlike their parents and children, wanted to have long-lasting and stronger relationships. So they were seen finding solace in the ideas of marriage and parenthood." I found this to be an interesting aspect of the 1950's because they were breaking social norms and being different.

I found it interesting when you mentioned how when author's relate something to the bible it helps the reader relate also because the bible has many common stories that everyone has heard of or knows about. I agree that one of the best ways to allow a reader to understand a relationship is by relating the situation to something very common that a lot of people would know. In your blog post you said, "I think they do this because it's a very common thing that most people are familiar with and can relate to.". I completely agree with this and think that some of the best connections and best mood settings are made through this method.
