Seek out similarities and<br \/>\ndifferences between what is being reviewed and, perhaps, what has been written<br \/>\nby other scholars or writers. When writing a critique, develop your own most<br \/>\neffective style. The abstract should be brief (it is not a review) but<br \/>\nincisive, e.g., an effort to single out the key hypotheses or major contentions<br \/>\nof the author. <\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 5pt; line-height: 107%; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><b style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 4.75pt; line-height: 107%; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><b style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 5.45pt -0.25pt; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><b style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">What is the Expected<br \/>\nLength of the Reading Critique?
