Write your answer in a one-page, double-spaced (about 250 words) analytical essay. Your analysis should provide enough evidence (e.g., specific detail) to indicate that you have studied the related materials in your textbook carefully, but information should not so overwhelm the essay that you forget to make a thoughtful analysis with a clear thesis. Your answer will be graded on the contents and quality of writing.
