Assignments must be between 450-500 words, exclusive of quotations. You should select a passage from the assigned reading that you think addresses one of the starred study questions. Then, you should reproduce this passage, paraphrase it in your own words and explain why that passage addressed the study question. Finally, answer any additional parts of the questions. So, your assignment should take the following form:
- A quotation from the assigned reading, which helps answer the study question (please also list chapter, page and/or line number).
** The process of you finding and interpreting your own selected quote is key to successful completion of the Study Question Essay. So if the question includes a quote, you need to find your own that you can open the essay response with, paraphrase, and interpret/analyze accordingly.
- A paraphrase, in your own words, of the quotation you selected.
- An explanation of why that passage addresses the study question.
- Your response to the study question.
