Please read and answer all the questions in each essay topic carefully. Each essay response should be about 2 pages long.  Each essay is worth 50 points each.

I prefer that you speak in plain language as if you were explaining the subject matter to someone with no experience with the topic. It is permitted to only use our textbook as a source. You may use outside sources if you like, but your own reflections in your own words are preferred.
