Respond to a prompt, and write thoughtfully about your essay, respond to the prompt,

about 200 words minimum per entry.

What is the most insurmountable obstacle you are facing in this essay? Is it doe to lack

or reading the assigned essays or a personal prejudice you encountered in the

assigned reading? What will it cost you to acknowledge details that run counter to your

beliefs? How can you accommodate details that run counter to your beliefs in this

essay? Are these details refutable base on your experience? If not, what does it cost

you to continue your preconceived notions?

What history have you learned on a subject that you were not previously aware of?

What terms were defined in a way you were not previously aware of? What facts had

you previously assumed were true to the foundation of your belief that were proved

wrong?

What are the main points you are using from the reading to support your position? If you

cannot support your position with the assigned readings, where can you find published

articles to support your position? If there are no supports to be found, is it easier to just

be the "devil's advocate" and write an essay with a proposed and supported thesis you

do not really agree with and let your unsupported ideas go? Even if it is just to practice

the writing assignment?

Are you struggling with a veil being removed on a subject you were previously blind to,

and you cannot unsee what you have seen and are afraid to sink back to a belief you

previously had that was proved unfounded?
