Instructions
Due, as an attachment, via the “Assignments” tool on Canvas, by 11:55pm
Thursday, November 12 (in PDF or any format easily converted to PDF,
e.g. MSWord).
Answer any two of the following questions, 2–3 pages for each answer, for a
total of 4–6 pages.
The questions are keyed to different reading assignments, with the idea that
each question is raised most centrally in a certain part of the reading. However,
you can and should use material from anywhere in the text where it’s relevant to
the answer.
Your focus should be on answering the questions accurately, not on
making an original point or argument (if you want to do that, you should
choose the paper option). However, all the questions do require some
thought; they can’t simply be read out of the texts. And, of course, as
usual, your answer must be “original” in the sense that it is your own
work. (You are not required, and in fact not even encouraged, to use any
outside source, but, if you do, you must cite it properly.)[1]If you have
any questions about policies on plagiarism and related issues, please see
