Do not give dictionary, wikipedia, or other online definitions. I want to see your words and ideas. Your answer must be at least 200 words in order to receive credit.
Required: 200-500 word minimum, proper grammar, spelling, and answering the questions/prompt as closely as you can. Points are taken off for obvious last-minute superficial commentary, not answering the specific questions posed, not following directions, too short length, as well as spelling and grammar issues.
