Essay #2
For this assignment, you are to select two readings (from the course) which you have found to be particularly interesting and discuss how the ideas and arguments that are found in one text can be applied to the other text. What is the relationship which you see between the two readings? What is the connection between these two texts? Are the arguments that are made in one reading relevant to the ideas found in the other? In what ways can they be applied? Are there any limitations in the extent to which the theory or argument of one writer can be applied to the ideas found in the other?
As you discuss the relationship between the two texts, the arguments and ideas of the authors should be accurately and thoughtfully depicted. Avoid broad generalizations—be sensitive to the positions of each writer.
