Ex 4: Of Books in Culture

could I have a little more description, please?

I'm leaving this topic open deliberately, but as always I'm asking you to defend a non-obvious claim on a topic related to the subject -- take a stand that a reasonable person would actually be able to disagree with, and use evidence (from Brookfield and elsewhere) to support your claim.

I'd be happy to discuss topics and thesis statements with you here, or via e-mail, and I strongly suggest that you wait until we work out a good thesis paragraph before you dive into the process of producing well-crafted paragraphs.

Is the paper due on Tuesday?

That's right -- I haven't moved the due date.
