This is a response paper on the podcast: Talk About RaceThe link for the podcast is shown here below:londonessays.com Instructions: This papers should be 500-750 words in length (a little longer is fine), double-spaced, and formatted according to MLA style, including a works cited page. You may also choose to respond to an idea raised in class discussion of these texts. Response papers give you an opportunity for interpretation, analysis, critical reading, and argument. I will mark errors in spelling, punctuation, and grammar, but Iâll grade the response papers primarily on content (originality of thought, level of analysis, and effectiveness of persuasion). These papers are informal, which means you may write in first person and assume that your reader is familiar with the text, but you should focus on one major question/issue and use specific examples from the text to illustrate and support your argument. For example, here are some appropriate topics for a response paper: -Choose an important passage to analyze through close reading. Investigate the diction, dominant imagery, and meaning of this passage. Why is this a significant passage? How
does it influence our understanding of the whole text?-If youâve read this text before, how is your reading this time different? Anything new strike you? Have you changed your mind about the meaning? How do you explain the change in your response?-Compare the text to other works by the same author OR to another authorâs treatment of a similar idea. You may wish to focus on dominant symbols, themes, point of view, or diction in making your comparison.2-Relate the text to something else youâve read, an experience youâve had, or a familiar problem or situation. Look at differences as well as similarities. What can be learned from making this comparison/contrast? Remember to stay grounded in the assigned text; donât let it suffer in this comparison.-If you were troubled, angered, or offended by a text, explain what bothered you and why. Be specific and give examples as you argue for the validity of your interpretation! (Note: The words bore, bored, and boring are off-limits in this exercise. ï)You must follow the prompts appropriately and also include an extra work cited page, if you have any questions do not hesitate to ask
