For Monday, please click here to download and actively read Tommy Orange’s prologue to his 2018 book There There.  You can print it out but you do not have to. Most importantly, I want you to read this excerpt a if it was a creative and eloquent research essay (which I think it is). After you read it, write a brief response to this topic: what is the value of a research essay written in this style compared with a research essay written in a “traditional” academic style?

We’ll talk in detail about this essay and its relation to the research process on Monday. So make sure to bring it.
