2). Reply to this discussion "On the first paper what stood out to me was the structure of the paper. What also stood out to me were the transition words, another thing that stood out to me was how it goes in depth into their analysis.

On the second paper what stood out to me was at the beginning it uses an example of someone who learned how to budget. I really liked how in the third page the first paragraph ends and then gives information, another thing that stood out to me was that they didn't say in conclusion for the conclusion paragraph and I always use it so I think it's something new I might do."

3). Reply to this discussion "The things I noticed about the first paper was the flow of the paper. It was easy to follow and read, I also noticed that it was well organized and had good transitional words from paragraphs to paragraphs.

The things I noticed about the second paper was that it was very informative with great examples of how money management works and how stressed one gets due to money management. I also noticed that the paper had great transitional words inside the paragraphs."
