Write a 2 page essay responding to “The Sweat” by Zora Neale Hurston. Using reader response critical theory, provide your opinion on the work’s strengths and/or shortcomings.

·       Your short response paper can be centered around key important ideas highlighted in the work. Use direct quotations from the work.

·       A body - Write a clear and organized reaction to this work. Consider how the works are from two different literary time periods.
