– These responses may be informal. By that I mean that you are not expected to
provide definitive answers or resolutions of difficulty; the point is to explore some
ideas and issues in the text. You may keep your style casual and even
conversational, but keep your thinking sharp and serious. Think, reflect, and then
get your thoughts down as best you can. I’ll attach a link to each text after each prompt. You don’t have to submit a plagiarism report, I will do so.
