Reading Responses

In your reading response, you can reflect on whatever came to mind when reading these papers. The one key requirement is that you demonstrate that you read the papers; however, you have to do so without merely summarizing them! While you may discuss the in-class questions in your response, I'm more interested in your own personal perspective on the readings.
