interviews with a few people, a summary and evaluation of previous books and research, or any combination of these. You just need to demonstrate to me
that you understand what it is that the author did. 3. What are the main results or findings of this authors study? There will be lots of little results but focus on
the findings that relate to the main questions or what they are trying to accomplish. You can also discuss any findings that either the author or you think are
particularly interesting or unexpected. Most of this will come from the section on the discussion of the findings but you can also look at the tables for more
findings than are not elaborated on by the author. 4. Did this study contribute in the way that the author hoped? In other words, did it reach its goals or
answer the questions the way the author hoped? For this section, you need to use your own assessment and critical thinking to evaluate whether or not you
