Problem:
Complete the following prompt. Make sure you give a clear answer in proper form (introduction, body and conclusion) that includes all relevant information (names, dates, etc.) and specific examples to support your answer. If a number of examples are not specified, make sure you back up your answer well with specific information and examples from the Kevin Reilly readings (primary and secondary) from chapters 1-4. It should be between 2 and 4 pages (12 point times new roman, 1" margins, and double-spaced) and have a cover page that includes the course information. The cover page does not count towards the total number of pages and your assignment should end at the bottom of page two to meet the minimum requirements for length. Make sure you identify which prompt you are answering on the cover page before you begin. References for information in the readings should be done using MLA in-text citations. Need Assignment Help?
