read Singer, P. Famine, Affluence, and Morality and write a 750-850-word reaction paper.

The first paragraph should tell your audience about the author. The second paragraph should summarize the article. For the remaining paragraphs, explain the following: On which points do you agree with the author and why? On which points do you disagree with the author and why? Each point of agreement or disagreement should be a separate paragraph.
