Summary:
Please note: No quotations are permitted in this exercise. Use your own words, and properly cite ANY idea NOT your own!

Remember, directly using 7 or more words in sequence without quotation marks constitutes plagiarism. You must refer specifically to the reading (demonstrating that you have read it), citing page numbers. Do not use outside (e.g. internet sources) and do not consult with other students.
