  1. This is a strong summary, Cris, with all the key moments identified.

    Even in tasks like this, the accuracy of your writing still matters, so I’d encourage you to look back through this entry and resolve any minor errors – for example sometimes you have failed to put capital letters on names like Montague – or you’ve spelled them incorrectly. This is also the case with words like tries, the third person version of the verb “to try”.

    Good going, Cris, as always.
