INSTRUCTION:
You are to write a response in essay format that includes an introduction, response to the question, critical analysis of the subject, including facts to support your analysis, and a conclusion.  Excessive use of quotes will result in a lowered score! Again, you must provide critical analysis of the readings and not simply a restating of the facts the authors present.

USE PICTURES/BOOK I HAVE ATTACHED FOR THEY WILL HELP USE CITATIONS FOR THE ESSAY. USE CORRECT CITATIONS AND SHOWING CITATIONS!!!!!!
