Two summaries of 9–12 sentences each

Please use a different essay to work on for each summary.

Instructions

Choose one essay from list A and another essay from list B below. Remember, you may only choose an essay once.

Write two short summaries of no more than twelve sentences each, one on your List A choice and one on your List B choice.

End each summary with a Works Cited or a References page.

Write your summary in present tense.
