Ah! I finally managed to get here!
Please go to www.ppseblogs.blogspot.com and post your thoughts on it so we can have discussion on the readings that you must have deliberated upon by now, as it is essential to do this to aid the writing of the essay.

I have posted the method of how you can post on www.ppseblogs.blogspot.com. Hope you are successful and I can start having a discussion with you on that site!

Seeing your list of thoughts that have been inspired by the readings and I presume, all the years of teaching, I feel it is a shame to restrict you to 2000 words. However, therein lies a skill! To pack it all in coherently but in a precise and cutting fashion!

Maybe, if you have drafts that are double in size of the word limit, you could save it and let me see it for my benefit- I would enjoy reading it and maybe think about bits you need to chop off to get it to the required length!
