  1. I'm a little confused as to item number 4 on the homework. Are we supposed to explain why the book is titled, with the name that it has?

  3. So, it's really late notice, but I've been sitting here with my dad trying up upload the essay intro to docstoc but it won't let us... My Mac uses "Pages" is there only a certain type of application that it allows you to upload from?

    1. Good to know that about pages... did you go to docstoc "help" or "FAQ"? If all else fails you can either: a) save as .pdf (I know docstoc will take that), or 2) email to a friend, ask them to save in Word and upload from a flash drive or different computer.
