Question 1 Should immediately start with sub question one, which should be clearly identified with a heading, then sub question 2 should get a heading and be answered, then sub question 3 should get a sub-heading and be answered. The three sub questions should take and equal portion of the 5 pages allocated to question 1.
Question 2 should then immediately start with its answer to its first sub question, which should have it heading. Then answer the following 4 sub-questions, which need to also have their perspective headings. These questions should also take equal portions of the 5 pages allocated to question 2. The general focus should be addressed in answering the five sub-questions.
Each question should have its own bibliography for the quotations and paraphrasing that are used.
No addition research is necessary other than the 2 books listed and the articles attached, it is essential that as many of the relative sources are adequately quoted and paraphrased to best answer the question. Important to have both quotes and paraphrasing citations
