Hello,<br />I have your word count at 2510. I felt it was best to go a few words over rather than under, but if you need to shorten further, cut the last line of the opening paragraph. I kept the conclusion short. I also found a few typos along the way so I corrected them. In particular, I found the closing quotation marks to be incorrect, acoording to style sheets (APA, MLA, Chicago) I have used. If your professor gave you a sheet that has them outside the citation paragraph then please replace, but that is highly unusual - they always go before the citation at the end of the actual quote.&nbsp;<br />Additionally, because of adding in the paragraph, you will need to reposition your illustrations and captions. I was going to attempt to do this but I was unsure exactly where you wanted them&nbsp;<br />I hope you are happy with your intro; I enjoyed working on this and hope to work for you again.<br />cheers, Susan
