Select one of the following articles, read it carefully and thoughtfully, and type a 1-2 page response (not a review or summary, but do reckon with the contents/statements of the article, rather than just use it a jumping-off point for your own discourse). The addresses below probably will not work as links -- rather, cut and paste the address into your browser, which should take you to the sites. Then, choose the PDFs to see the articles with the illustrations. This is copyrighted material, so I cannot post the entire articles here.
