Defend your opinion with argument and reference to earlier readings and the movies, but do not repeat what you have written in earlier papers. If you wish, you may in this essay discuss how your views have changed over the term or in ways opinions with which you began the course have gotten stronger.
A researcher asked a man his opinion of a certain ethnic group. "They are moody and quick-tempered," he replied. "It is in their blood."
"Have you ever known any . . . personally?" the man was asked.
'Yes, one. He was our class president in high school.'
