Answer each question thoroughly and clearly, and ground it in course reading material. Essay answers must be more than 3 or 4 brief sentences, but kept within the bounds of an essay exam (2 - 6 paragraphs). All your writing must be in your own words.

Answers must be written in narrative, paragraph form.  Lists and/or sentence fragments also will not receive points
