Let me add that I encourage you to come up with YOUR OWN CHOICE of topic derived from ANY topic in ANY chapter that interests/intrigues/inspires you = that makes you want to learn more about it or explore it and reflect upon it. Our IWR book offers you a rich array of subjects to ponder/contemplate, given all that our scholarly author, John Bowker, presents. So, compose YOUR thoughts about WHAT you read = your Reader-Response. And if the topic connects personally with you in your life (travel, current practice, ...), or possibly relates to another course you are currently taking or have taken, then that, too, would be appropriate to integrate into your essay-reflections. For ex., Gandhi's ideal of ahimsa/non-violence (read in our IWR: 46-47) and its influence on the vision of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in the Civil Rights Movement (IWR: 163). You will ALWAYS be more motivated to WRITE YOUR BEST when it is a subject you choose for yourself - not some topic imposed by me, your prof. And if you decide to consult one or more secondary, scholarly sources - on-line web-site or a book in our Library or a journal article - quote from it/them properly: that is, right after the quotation, put within parentheses (...) the author's name & page-number, AND at the end of your Essay give name/s of the author/s, title/s, publisher/s & year/s. Use WHATEVER citation style you wish (APA, MLA, Chicago, ...). So, make the ESSAY your own so that you are PROUD of, and PLEASED with, it as a college milestone in your THINKING and WRITING here at MSUM. Breathe Intellectual FIRE, O Dragons, into your Essay!
