RA thesis statement.

In the article "Long Distance Relationships", the author uses personal experiences, visuals, and structure to create a sense of certainty to convince the reader that they can make a long distance relationship work.

  1. Tess, I think that this is a great topic. It takes more work to maintain a long distance relationship, but it can be done, and be worth it. Great things come about from them including learning to sustain a relationship through obstacles, never running out of things to talk about, and every time you do talk or see each other it is much more meaningful. It’s kind of like eating your favorite meal after fasting or a very long day at work; it always tastes so much better- especially if they help you make it. “Living on a Prayer” can either make you stronger or break you- it’s up to you.

    1. Owen, are you in a long distance relationship right now? If so, I think you're going to make it work. You have so much faith.

  3. Owen???
    Is there something you're not telling us???
    Personally, I like short-distance relationships; it provides you with the opportunity to see your loved one more than once a month. However, I can see that a long-distance relationship would have benefits as well. Good topic.

    1. Haha, I love how I just noticed these comments on Valentine’s Day. To answer the big question, no… not for some time. It’s funney though, she’s now engaged to a guy who’s last name is Owenby (either you could read what I think is a couincidence to be Owen B. or Bye Owen… haha). Although I haven’t been in a relationship for some time now, I will agree with Ruskin, the closer the better. Hey, if you are in a long distance relationship though, what I said earlier still stands true. I guess you could say that “I’m Gonna Miss Her,” but I took that experience I leaned a little more about myself. If you can make it work, that’s awesome. Regardless, “… be a best friend, tell the truth, and never overuse I love you.”
