This
list of reference points is intended to be suggestive and evocative. The objective is to write a coherent, integrated essay (not an itemized
list) that encompasses these (or other) issues to the degree they are
relevant to the points you want to make.

Pay
attention to grammar, organization, coherence (“flow”) and clarity of
expression. Use original language, your own writing “voice” to make
assertions and observations. Support them with properly cited
quotations and citations. Any citation format may be used, but each
citation must include page numbers. A “works cited” page should be
included.
