Response Paper 3

For this response paper you can choose from a multiplicity of options:

1.) Use one of the reading questions for Book 1 as a jumping off point and answer it by focusing on a small section of text (try out your close reading skills).

2.) Pick a section of Book 1 that you find interesting and close read it (whether or not it relates to any of the reading questions).

3.) Do the same thing as #2 but to Book 2.

If you've selected a piece of text but you don't know what to do with it, a great resource is the O.E.D (available off-campus here). You can get a lot of mileage looking up seemingly simple words like "equal" and seeing how they were used in the period and what nuances might apply to your passage.
