    A reaction paper responds to a prompt, such as a current event or piece of media. It must summarize the source being reacted to, include the writer's opinions supported by evidence from the source, and explain the reaction and any polarizing issues. The paper should not simply repeat what the author already said or be a stream of personal statements. It introduces the source, provides a body with summary and evaluation, and concludes with an overall evaluation and recommendations.
