Unit 1 - Response Paper 1- Minimum 3 double-spaced pages
Reading: “The Social Networks”, by Neal Gabler
Writing Prompt: Write an argumentative paper in which you agree or disagree with Gabler’s claim that, “instead of brining comfort, [television] seems only to remind us of our alienation” [para. 6 of the essay].
Hint : Remember, you must take a position on the effect of television, does it help us or hurt us in the way Neal Gabler claims? Then compose a thesis stating your position and defend it throughout the paper. Stay in 3rd person, NOT 1st person.
Writing Preparation: In order to help sharpen writing skills, do the following:
· Study a sample response paper in the ‘sample papers’ area to familiarize yourself with how a formal response paper must be formatted and written. You must include an introductory paragraph with a thesis, a strong supportive body, and a conclusion.

MLA In-Text Citations: You must use MLA in-text citations when not using signal phrases such as: According to Brown.
