Purpose of the Assignment

Unlike the summaries that focus solely on representing other writers' arguments, the Summary/Response essay allows you to build on a summary with an argument of your own. Your response might analyze the logic of the original essay, or it might argue for or against the position of the original essay. If you choose to analyze the logic of the original essay, you must make a case for your analysis, in effect arguing that your analysis is a good one.
