haha Tiff! I think you could add more visuals to your monologue. You just put on your glasses and then took them off..Good modern example though-it's really common for people to play with people's feelings. I guess it's a way of cutting corners to get what you want. Am I right?

your video had very clear examples, and was presented very well (loud and clear)...good definition and good connections...

All the elements are there, but needs to be peppier! You are clear and direct and that's a plus.
