1st Paper: Summary & Strong Response
For your first writing assignment, you’ll use the strategies outlined in Chapter 6 of Allyn &
Bacon, “Reading Rhetorically,” to write a summary/strong response essay based on ONE of the
following options:
• “The World Might Be Better Off Without College For Everyone” by Bryan Caplan
o https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2018/01/whats-college-goodfor/546590/
• “The Writing Revolution” by Peg Tyre
o https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2012/10/the-writingrevolution/309090/
• “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” by Nicholas Carr
o https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2008/07/is-google-making-usstupid/306868/
Your essay will include (1) a summary of the text, and (2) a strong response in which you “speak
back” to that reading based on your own critical thinking, personal experience, and/or values.
You are not limited to exclusively a rhetorical critique, an ideas critique, or a personal
reflection, but can think of your response as a “blended” approach where one or all of these
strategies might appear in your paper. Envision your audience as fellow students or instructors
who have not read the article and who might want to use it as a resource.
Elements of the Summary/Strong Response Essay
Introductory paragraph
• Sets up the problem or topic as context for introducing your chosen text.
• Introduces your text with the author’s name, title, context (where the article appeared,
for instance), and author’s central claim or main idea.
• Concludes with a tension-filled thesis that sets up clear expectations for the direction of
your essay and gives your reader a sense of the points you will develop and discuss.
Your thesis will express your judgment about the text in terms of rhetorical strategies,
successes or problems, or possibly questions it has raised in your mind.
Summary of the article
• Retains the balance of the original article. You can generally follow the order of the
original, keeping the proportions of the summary roughly equivalent to the proportions
of the original.
• Includes author tags to distinguish the author’s viewpoints from your own. The
summary does not include your opinion.
• Includes at least one direct quotation, folded into your own sentence. Use author tags
and introductory phrases to incorporate direct quotes into your sentences.
Response paragraphs supporting your thesis
• Relate to your thesis and organize your response for your reader based on your thesis.
• Address the author’s argument, main points, and/or ideas.
• Relate logically to each other, easing your reader through your ideas with transitions.
• Support your judgments with reasons and concrete evidence from the text or your own
experience (examples/paraphrases/direct quotations).
Conclusion
• Leaves the reader with a clear understanding of your stance toward the text. Consider
also pointing your reader toward ideas beyond your own response to the text or a
restatement of your thesis. Could you, for example, suggest how this text might be
applied, or what its implications are, or how it contributes to the larger conversation
surrounding the topic?
New page entitled Work Cited or References
• Give the formal citation for your article in MLA (Works Cited) or APA (References)
format. You can find models for MLA and APA citations by consulting:
1. your textbook, Ch. 24
2. the Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL)
https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/purdue_owl.html
3. the UH Writing Center
Length: no fewer than 3 full pages and more than 7 full pages; approximately 5 pages will be
anticipated

When asked “What’s your career advice for young people?” Vineet Nayar, former CEO of HCL Technologies, a $5 billion IT services company centered in India, said the following:

When you come out of college, you’re raw. You have energy. You want to           experiment. You want to learn. You have hopes. You have aspirations. You        want to be Oprah Winfrey. You want to be Steve Jobs. You want to be Bill Gates. You want to be all that. Slowly, over time, you lose it. And by           looking in the mirror every day as you get older, you fool yourself that     you’re OK. There has to be another way of looking in the mirror and    revisiting what you really want to do. So I would say, maybe at the end of college, write it down honestly, in 100 words or whatever it is, and put it in a box. I call it the magic box. Revisit it once a year or once every two years          and say, how honest are you to that? Don’t let anybody run your life. That,     in my mind, is very, very important. You should be in control of your life.

 

Think about what Nayar’s comments mean for you. Describe your deepest career aspirations. Explain who you want to be in the future.  Discuss also your guiding philosophy and the core personal values that drive your ambitions. Write the statement assuming that you will return to it in five, ten, or more years to see what progress you have made with your self-determined career aims.
