*Doyou feel the author is effect in support of his thesis? Here, you need toexplain whether or not you believed the author effectively supported histhesis. Effectively buttress your position with a supporting quote or two.Thoroughly explain yourself in this paragraph. *Which theoretical perspectiveis best reflected? Here, you state, based on the examples provided on theformat sheet, which sociological perspective you believe the author is speakingfrom. Use the definitions provided of each perspective and explain yourselfthoroughly with examples. It is possible to assert that the author is speakingfrom more than one perspective. This is okay. Just support your position(s)with information from the text. *Are there any biases? What I mean by “bias” isdoes the author make an assertion (e.g., the criminal justice system is racist)without presenting data or research to back up the claim. If according to thedefinition of “bias” you believe the author is biased, use quotes to support thisposition with a thorough explanation. If you believe the author is not biased,give some examples of information that he presents that is non-biased. Remembermy definition of “bias.” *Is there anything you disagreed with? Here, state ifyou disagreed with anything. Give succinct examples and thoroughly explainyourself. If you agreed with everything, provide several examples ofinformation/data that you agreed with. *Your comments, opinion, etc. Here, yougive your thorough assessment of the book, and I do mean thorough. ******I willstrictly follow the above guidelines/format in grading your paper.
