The State of Global Security Today: The Philippines and The World

Write a brief explanation as to why you chose the novel. •• Please do not skip this step. I will not accept a book review without previously having received this r** 3) Read the novel with "political eyes". This may not make complete sense outright but try to look for features, characters, and/or storylines that may have some political salience in today's world. 4) Write and submit a 5-7 page reaction paper of the book. a. A reaction paper is NOT a summary. While being able to summarize a book/article is an important skill I am far more interested in what YOU think about the book. Address how it is or is not relevant to today's political culture or environment. For instance, what can you as a student and we as a society learn from what the author conveys through a work of fiction? Does the author offer a fair or biased description of society and life? What examples or analogs can be seen today that support your stance. b. If you need any help with this assignment, please reach out to me early and often. While this is not exactly a research paper I want you to think of it in a similar fashion. Read the book, do some research and complete something that is valuable to you as a student.
