Write a response to the following question of approximately 5 double-spaced pages.

Papers should be in-depth, specific, thorough and clear.  Papers should respond to the questions by analyzing specific quotations from each of the three texts, all the while explaining how those quotations or features support the answer. Integrate quotations into your writing effectively.

Your paper should rely entirely on the student’s own analysis of the text without the use of outside sources (except those indicated in the questions).

Your writing should be grammatically clear and use specific words.
