Document Summary

Eng 2131b: first short assignment: due: in class 13th february 2015. Aim: a close reading and exposition of a named article, followed by a critical response. Topic: for this assignment, you are asked to read one of the articles named below. You should briefly identify its central thesis and illustrate the main ways in which the author supports his or her argument. You should then describe your own response to this article and its thesis, or, if you wish, you can narrow your focus to a significant element of the chosen article and describe your response to that element. Your response should be judicious and academic in tone and content rather than merely personal. Do not simply tell me that you love or hate your chosen article or that you agree or disagree with the author. Give reasons for your agreement or disagreement that can be assessed critically.
