1/3 of the Way

I just finished my first essay summary and I'm not entirely sure it's what Ms. Stariha wants. Honestly, its not too bad and I'm a little happy with it myself BUT I think I used too many quotes from the essay. I'm having a hard time displaying the claims without plagiarizing (I'm being extremely careful here after the talk we got today which is why I have so many quotes) or stating the author of the essays name too many times. I suppose I'll just have to wait and see what she says but I'm hoping its OK.
