1. After MLA citation list several topics/areas the book has taught you about that the "Business of Being Born" either ignored or treated differently or in less depth.
2. The major insight the book tries to communicate in the second 100 pages (1-3 sentences) and your response to that insight (2-4 sentences).
3. List 5 interesting aspects of pregnancy and birth discussed in the second hundred pages that you agree deserve wider attention (include page number).
4. Independently research one crucial factual claim by the author in the second hundred pages and assess the validity of the author's use of that evidence.
Suggestions for each of the 4 points above;
1 (contrast) Look back through your notes or through the second hundred pages and make a list of topics discussed. Look at your notes for "Business of Being Born". Think about the most important non-overlap between the two.
2 (thesis) - If you can find an actual quote or two from the book to answer this, that would be better than a paraphrase, perhaps connecting several quotes to be more accurate.
3 (key points) - Check your notes, what struck you, what do you find yourself still thinking about?
4 (evidence) - Use "Cochrane Reviews" which is considered among the most reliable guides to evidence-based clinical practice or, if Cochrane doesn't have it, try PubMed using the search bar on top. That's how the scientists and medical professionals do research. If you can't make either of those sources give you good information then do a Google using terms like 'research' and/or 'study' in addition to the topic you want returned.
