You will turn in a short, roughly two-to-three-page response paper that addresses the readings of that theme.Please include at the top of your paper the question you will be answering in the paper.
Your paper should include an introduction, which lays out the argument and the ways you will demonstrate the correctness of your argument, body paragraphs, which will follow the path you lay out in the introduction to prove your argument, and a conclusion, which will summarize the claims previously made and draw out their logical implications. Please do not include a quotation from a dictionary as the definitive proof of the meaning of a key term. Words change their meaning over time.
