from my professor...This is an English class, so we are using MLA style formatting: the publication year goes at the end, not after the author's name, you are using APA style Using summary skills developed throughout ENGL 101,

 paying particular attention to reporting frames and transitions as previously discussed, compose a 300-400 word summary of a story assigned: 

"Softer" by Paolo Bacigalupi

After summarizing the story, reflect on your summary: How does this story relate to the inherent problems with humanity?

Do not forget the works cited page, it should include the story you are summarizing.
