I now want you to explore any idea related to any themes you found in the readings. Here are some examples of possible topics: What does it mean to you to work at the becoming a novice? How are the characteristics of being a novice in the Sommers & Saltz article related to ideas of authority? How does some advice you heard on a video help you gain authority? What does persuasion, being a novice, and authority have in common?

In the essay you will need to integrate both your experiences and your own reflections on the idea you are exploring.
