Though your essay must address all of the issues mentioned above, it should not adopt the format of the question. Please make sure that you write in proper essay style (paragraphs) and that your essay has an introduction (with a thesis or focus statement), supporting body paragraphs and a conclusion. Also, for clarity, please be sure to make reference to the names or authors of the specific sites rather than “website 1,” “website 2,” etc.
