  1. Carol Archer: Elbe, some good comments here and your first answer --the quote you have used --is spot on. But with all your answers aim to spell out your ideas very clearly. When you use a quote, write some text of your own to show how the quote answers the question you are discussing. Elaborate more on the ideas to make your comments persuasive. Do this with all your responses to the questions. And keep up the good work!
