In this assignment, you will be discussing Jason Farr’s A Glorious Failure (attached).
It may be helpful to think about the following questions, though you should in no way feel limited to discussing these points.
THESIS: What is this reading’s thesis? Does it have one major point? Or multiple points?
IMPORTANCE: WHY does this thesis matter? How does this book complement or challenge the thesis presented in other works that we have read?
EVIDENCE: What evidence does the author use to support his/her thesis? What types of evidence? How does this evidence connect to the thesis and any sub-points?
COGENCY AND CRITIQUE: What is MOST convincing about this book’s use of evidence? What is LEAST convincing? Where might it have been improved? How might you have improved it?
RELEVANCY: Would this thesis have been relevant if the author had been looking elsewhere, at another group of individuals, at another community, at another time period?
