Hi everyone,

After class a few students asked if you have to define each terms listed on the exam: motherhood, monstrosity, masculinity, and home.  Yes, you need to provide a definition for each of these terms in relationship to the reading; however, you don’t have to discuss each term in relationship to all three works.  You can define home in relationship to Davis and Morgan, for example, and discuss monstrosity in relationship to Pascoe and Morgan.
