Alan Anderson Activity Four: Writing for University

The American family today comes in alot of different shapes in sense of the amount of children and parents that are involved.  Families in American can have either two parents or one.  If the child or children dont have biological parents they can be adopted or ''taken'' in by other members of their family.  This does not mean though that they have to be blood relatives.  Simply a god parent or close family friend could fill in the position of guardian.  In some states and various circumstances homosexuals may also cohabit and raise children.

I think what I have written is somewhat not detailed and scattered.  I wrote simply about what the American family consists of and briefly discussed the different possibilities of support within the families.  For the most part I understand what I wrote.  I do think though that I scattered my thoughts around and didnt exactly touch in detail or give examples of specific situations and circumstances.  I think this exercise worked for me or served its purpose as far as getting me to write as much on a topic as possible.  After reading what I wrote I suppose I was surprised that my thoughts on family I typed werent as out of order or scattered as I thought.
