Write at least one paragraph (5-6 sentences) in which you present your own scholarly analysis and reaction to the reading. It is OK to draw upon personal experiences in making your analysis, but it is important in scholarly writing to demonstrate awareness of the limitations of personal experience as well. This is the place to demonstrate "in-depth" thinking, tentative thoughts, and unresolved questions. Respond to one or more of the following prompts:
• How does this thesis compare to other viewpoints you've read in this class, other classes, and/or in the news?
• Are the author's claims believable/persuasive? Why or why not?
• Why is the author telling us this? Are this author's claims relevant/significant? Why or why not?
