Please choose a document from the Major Problems readings for the week you are writing. In a 1-2 page paper please respond to your chosen document. Your paper should include a bibliographical reference, and should have 2 parts to it.

The first part of your paper should be a candid response to the document.Did you enjoy this document, did you find it overly long, or difficult to understand?Why did you choose this document to respond to?Did something about it stick out as familiar or surprising?Was there something you found interesting or intriguing?

The second part of the paper should focus on why the document was created in the way it was.What type of document is it (an article, a speech, a letter, etc)?Who was intended to read it? What did the author want to accomplish or say through the work, and just as importantly- were they successful in their aims? Why or why not? What choices did they make that allowed the work to achieve that aim (or not)?Does your analysis of the document relate to your earlier reaction to the document (is it suitable that you didn’t find a supreme court case to be very exciting, or that a political speech was written in clear accessible language)?Remember to be specific and use examples from the text (with citations) to describe your ideas.
