You will select two quotations from the list provided and analyze them. One at a time, following the structure on the template, you will agree or disagree with the idea of the quotation, put the quotation into your own words, and then support your perspective and convince the reader to put the idea into practice in their own life through the use of examples. This is similar to creating a premises-conclusion format, but as in papers for class or presentations at work, you will put your conclusion first, and the premises will become "main points" with details to help support the conclusion.
