Once you have read that essay, do this:
Create a position statement about why you think free will does or does not exist.
Consider why some might be on the other side and state their reasons (the reading can help you with that).
Refute their position.
Then state the reasons someone should support your position. This should be 150-200 words.

Please paraphrase the paper in the attached doc, and make it to a full 3 page paper.
The instruction for this paper is:
write a 3 pages paper for the play you watched at school, called “Little Shop of Horror”
Specific steps for writing a performance review:
1. Summarize the play (briefly) and your initial response to it. What is its context, starting point, and aims?
2. Find two specific elements that struck you and analyze how those two elements were represented. How did the message come across: specific lines, actions, technical means (lighting, sound effects, music, props, etc.? Were there any significant actions or gestures that contributed to the play’s meaning?
3. Utilize the concepts and terminologies that we learned throughout this semester. You can also make a comparison in terms of plot, characters, language, genres, and styles between the performance and any plays) that we have read for class.
4. Describe audience composition in terms of race, gender, ethnicity, age, full house or not. What was the audience’s response to the performance? Did you sense approval, disapproval, or some other response?
On what basis and at what specific points) in the performance did you sense this?
5. Conclude with a reflection on if and how this performance changed the way you view theater.
