Re: 4 - Border Crossing Activity
Elizabeth, thank you for taking the time to provide me with feedback. I think the focus of my paper is on success and the means to achieve it for women in a time period that is conservative. I will certainly take your comments into consideration when writing my final draft.

Re: 15 - Make A Choice between Dream and Reality
Xuan, thanks for taking my comments into consideration. I do understand where you are coming from. However, I still think it's honestly personal preference when it comes to music or art.

However, I would have to disagree with you on your perspective of WangCaiLing’...

Hi Jing, I would have to agree with Elizabeth that the title of your essay really grabbed my attention. I thought it was interesting how the statement, “To be or not to be is a question” was the first thing that crossed your mind after watching the two films. You mentioned that both films focused on...
