In no less than 300 words, answer the above question using the readings for the week. For full credit,
responses should cite Rubin OR Vance, and any 2 of the other 3 readings (Garcia, Hernandez, or Naber),
for a minimum of four in-text citations in this post. Hint: make sure you have read Rubin AND Vance before
starting this post; pay specific attention to the “charmed circle.” You may also wish to consult this week’s
lecture (though the readings should for this forum provide everything you need to answer the question).
