From your course textbook, Ticket to Write, read the chapter titled "Can't We Talk?" by Deborah Tannen.

After reading and reflecting on the article, respond to the following: “Men grow up in a world in which a conversation is often a contest, either to achieve the upper hand or to prevent other people from pushing them around. For many women, however, talking is typically often a way to exchange confirmation and support” (Tannen, 2016, p. 632).

• What has been your experience?
• How does the author present this difference in communication between men and women in her essay?
• Is she effective in her presentation?
• How does she use detail and organization to support her points?
