I just had a quick question for our reaction papers. Mine isn’t due for a while but I wanted to be thinking about stuff that I wanted to put in while I’m reading. It’s just supposed to be what I got from it right? So it could be random interesting stuff that I learned/never thought about before? And it’s supposed to be about 2 pages?

Here Mr. Prudente a link to home much the items listed in the Twelve Days of Christmas would cost according to the Christmas Price Index rather than the consumer’s.

Bridget,
I would work on making it relevant interesting stuff rather than random…meaning, you want to have some type of central theme to make a cohesive, readable paper. I’m sure you’ll do a great job. If you have specific questions please feel free to ask.

I didn’t mean totally random haha – just that there’s no specific topic that you would have us write about – that we should talk about things that we feel were relevant.

…that may be something that other people wouldn’t think to write about
