Each week you are to write a synopsis of the week’s readings – no longer than one page.  There are multiple readings assigned each week, but there is an underlying theme or themes.  Simple state what the theme(s) is/are – also include your personal opinion on the overall thesis – do you agree/disagree and why.  This week's readings for review include:
