Unit 2- Assignment 3: Read “The Personal and the Collective Unconscious” (927-46), “The Four Idols” (879-96)

You are to critically respond to both readings for the week in 250-500 words. Responses should be, at a minimum, at least two paragraphs (one for each reading). Keep in mind that critical response paragraphs do not simply summarize the text or evaluate whether or not you like the text; they are a 8-12 sentence persuasive and focused analysis, argument, or interpretation about the text. They not only help you think critically about the texts you read but also help you formulate ideas that can be expanded into longer essays.  In order to ensure a focused response, you are welcome to select any one question following the reading provided in the textbook to respond to (listed under QUESTIONS FOR CRITICAL READING); OR, you may raise your own critical question in relation to the text, provided it is a persuasive and focused analysis, argument, or interpretation about the text.   

For further information on how to write a proper critical response paragraph, please see the provided handout.
