Rhet 102

Greetings everyone.  Two things:  1.  Remember you owe me a WSRP on one of your sources from the last library visit (not today's visit).  2.  You owe me a list of 10 good sources on your topic and include a few meta-sources.  I do not need the entire source, that is a silly waste of paper.  I just need an abstract or something close to an abstract.
