Thank you Rhabbi, for an excellent response to the readings. I can see that you really thought about the ideas presented in each article. Of course, like all ideas, you take what works for you and leave the rest.
I am sure you will continue to improve your writing, not only because you are determined to do so, but also because you are open to new ideas and criticism. This view will take you far.
You can begin work on your second assignment as soon you are able to. Remember, though you are not to use a spell / grammar check, or anyone to edit your work, you can check over your work as many times as you wish.
The topic is up to you, so you can let your imagination fly!
Have fun and I look forward to reading more of your work.
