Please respond in a five-paragraph APA essay format with quotes, proper in-text citations, and references.

Please be sure to include the following in your assignment submission:

• Base your answer on your own observations and support your assertions quoting from your assigned readings.
• Review the assigned readings from the course. Highlight quotes, summarize, or paraphrase from this week's readings and be sure to include an in-text citation in proper format (Author, year, p. X).
• We must include three quotes from our readings. When we discuss literature, it is all about the words before us. They are ours to consider and reflect on. So, you will want to make a strong assertion and prove it, or support it, by quoting from the readings. Include three quotes in our essay.
• Include a strong thesis for your essay. A thesis states shares the Author, Title of the piece being explored, and a strong assertion, and ideally will share key discussion points.
