Do you feel that the literary canon is antiquated? does the literary canon need to be updated? how might you update the literary canon? your answer should be at least one hundred words.

Refute it, showing why it is mistaken—an apparent but not real problem; acknowledge its validity or plausibility, but suggest why on balance it's relatively less important or less likely than what you propose, and thus doesn't overturn it; concede its force and complicate your idea accordingly—restate your thesis in a more exact, qualified, or nuanced way that takes account of the objection, or start a new section in which you consider your topic in light of it. this will work if the counterargument concerns only an aspect of your argument; if it undermines your whole case, you need a new thesis.

Pardon me. to answer questions like this, we would have needed more information. for starters, two sentences from the excerpt that came with the question.
