900-word reaction papers should use only ideas and information from assigned readings, videos, and links and your own ideas. No sources besides these should be used. This paper should be the result of your experience with these texts. Your paper should contain quotations from assigned resources, but no more than 20% of your paper should be quoted. Your own ideas, in reaction to and in conversation with the texts, should be the focus of the paper. References to assigned texts, videos, and links must be cited in MLA style. You can see the basics of the MLA style here:http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/01/ (Links to an external site.)
