Please respond to ONE of the following prompts.

Prompt 1:

Choose three sources from the list below and write an essay either supporting or refuting Price’s claim. Your essay should be 5-6 pages.
A successful response to both of these questions will discuss more than one text in each body paragraph. To help synthesize the texts, consider the following questions: How do the ideas in the texts intersect? How might an idea in one text help to clarify an idea in another? How do the texts work together to support your overall argument? Do any of the texts use similar rhetorical strategies?
