Enjoy the text you are reading and as you read, try to pick out passages that capture its spirit, its culture or its uniqueness. In the top right hand corner of the first page, please include your name, the date, and the author of the text to which you are responding. Make sure your response has at least an introductory and a concluding paragraph that are related to each other. Support your response by using a few short quotes from the text that illustrate your points. Do avoid using only one long quote.
Most style sheets suggest that all punctuation goes inside quotation marks except semicolons.
Please attempt to put all citations within the body of the text. If not, please add all comments as notes at the end of the text. If your quote is longer than five lines, it should be set off from the rest of the text by indenting the entire text five spaces. If the text is indented, no quotation marks are needed, although the page reference is. If the quote begins with a new sentence, use four periods.
