Assignment: Read CAREFULLY the attached article by John Harris, and analyze it as follows:

Your paper should have two parts. In part ONE briefly lay out the main argument of the text as you did in assignment one. In part TWO, choose one or two of the author’s major claim(s). Subject it/them to critical analysis and offer a well-reasoned and well-supported set of objections (but not a complete counterargument). What problems (if any) do you see in the author’s argument(s)? What assumptions is he making? Are these questionable or problematic? Are the conclusions compelling? Satisfying? Problematic? Why or why not?

REMINDER: this is NOT a research assignment. You do not need to (and SHOULD NOT) bring in any outside texts or resources. However, because Harris does not provide complete details about the technique in question, you may find useful background here:
