Sounds great I am going to have to try it, homemade salsa is the best. I completely agree why settle on bammer salsa when you can make the good stuff fairly easy.

I would have to agree with you. Home made food is much better then store bought. Thought I dont like guacamole. I uderstand where you are coming frome. I am the same way with my familys mac and cheese. I will not bye it in a store. I have to make it even though it take 4 hrs.

I agree with Nate article on dips. I like the way he supports the store bought dips. Then tells you why it's wrong to always eat them. Then he gives advice on how to make a certain dip.

I definately love the background information Nate brings to this paper; he points out common ground, acknowledges differing viewpoints, and adds a hint of humor. Nate has a very tactful way of writing and gets his point across in a timely fashion; he informs his readers about successful ways of buying avacados, but lets the readers decide which type of avacado they would like to buy without forcing them to buy his favorite type.

I enjoyed reading your entry. It is funny yet persuasive at the same time. You used tactful, courteous language. Plus, you gave out a recipe too, thanks for that.

The author of this essay used tactful, courteous language to pursuade readers. He argues that making salsa is so easy there is no reason you should eat canned salsa. Then he deviates from salsa to guacamole dip. He gives information on how to pick the best ingredients and how to make it. I agree that you should not add sour cream to guacamole, since it is already creamy.

I thought that it is true that the point that was made of saying that many chips and dip are the ultimate party food. It is true in many cases but I don't agree that it always is the most dominant. I thought you could use better tactful language and it could have a sronger taste of an argument for the type of purpose you were trying to define.I thought tha the opinions that you put in your writing on making different types of guacolmole and also it was a very informative article on what you were mentioning about different types of guacolmole for yourself and for othr people to refer ideas off of you.

I would have to agree with the author. I think that making home made food is better then buying store food. It has a better taste to it and it just has a better feel to it. I'm like that way with my familys mac and cheese. I would rather sit home and make it for 4 hrs then buy that istant mix. though i dont like guacamole i know where the author is coming form.

I think that this article is not a good argumentation. There is no clear argument made and very little persuasive information. I think this article best represents the first pattern of development, using tactful, courteous language.

Wait, I'm confused -- was some eighth grade class's English assignment to write comment on Daily articles today? Or is this a post-Halloween prank? I'm not totally sure why an article (albeit nicely written) about guacamole that basically just says: "Use avocados and whatever else tastes good" has sparked so much commentary.

I echo Confuzzled sentiments. What the hell is going on here? Is this a PWR assignment?
