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.
