Due to pressing time, Brandon and I had to skim the first of his History chapters in order to prepare for an assignment that is due tonight, midnight. Brandon seemed very tired and resistant to reading, but we were able to compile a list of the most pertinent information from each chapter for his 200-300 word post. In essence, Brandon was asked to give his thoughts on how well the author of his History text challenges the idea that the Enlightenment is a European phenomenon. Brandon answered that the author did nothing but place this era within a European frame, but with good reason.
