I read the Harper's Weekly Review.

We talked about the 1960s and 1970s.

I assigned the final. Susan Sontag wrote an essay in 1966 called "What's Wrong in America" that I think is insightful into today as much as it was to 1966. Respond to the essay utilizing what we have learned throughout this whole year. (1-10 pages)
