Please help complete my midterm take home exam. There are 4 exams in total that each require 400 word responses to the questions asked. The questions are related to our class readings. I will include as much information I can about the readings and provide links to help you find the books. The main book is Johnson, Thornton, and Kidder. Please find these books and use them to write the essays. Please let me know if you need anything else.
