Each paper is a 2 page reflection on the readings for that topic using details and quotations from the piece as evidence for your analysis. In this reflection, you should discuss what you believe to be the main argument or thesis of the author/authors. What evidence or supporting arguments/claims do they make to uphold this thesis?
You can also discuss any of the following that seem relevant: what sources does the author use and how does this influence his work? If there is more than one piece for the discussion, which do you find more convincing and why? How does this piece support or conflict with primary sources we have read for the time period? Does this piece give you insight into the period in a different way than lecture/textbook readings?
