Is Snyder correct?

Is Snyder correct? Use the book black earth as your only source!!!!
That’s it. That’s your question. You need to write five pages with 1-inch margins and double spacing. (No trickery!)
As we grade your paper, we’ll be looking for the following things.
Do you understand Professor Snyder’s argument? Your introduction should explain his thesis correctly and succinctly, and then answer the question directly.
Do you understand the other side? Can you describe how another student might answer the question differently? Can you explain the rival interpretation?
In the context of the rival opinion, can you argue your position convincingly? Why are you right? Why aren’t you swayed by the rival interpretation? Why do you believe what you believe? Engaging these questions will help you avoid the “summary trap,” where you regurgitate Snyder’s argument as proof that his argument is correct. Analysis beats summary like paper beats rock. So, use specific details from the book and lectures as you explain why you are right.
Do you understand what’s at stake? Regardless of your position on Snyder’s thesis, why does his intervention matter? What are the implications today? This question will hang in the background of your paper, and your engagement will determine your final score.
