Favorite Quotation/Idea Short Essay

Students!

Your assignment is to revise (correct grammatical errors and make sure the citation is correct) your short essay from Class One and post it here (in the comments field, below). Click “Submit Comment” and enter your essay in the box.

Again, the formula should be, as follows:  1) State the idea or quotation and where it comes from, 2) provide a professional interpretation of the idea that you could offer up in a public debate, discussion, etc (You may have to compare the idea to another idea in order to fully interpret its merit.). Be creative, be professional, and avoid 1st and 2nd person pronouns (me, I, my, mine, we, us, you). This should be somewhere between 300 and 500 words. Format it as the example appears below.
