Nemare, this is a very clear summary. Good stuff!
You have chosen two important quotations and have provided a decent explanation. Keep it up!
Targets:
1) Your events section misses out some important details. For example, it does not tell us who was killed and why.
2) I understand your explanation of the quotations because we have had a previous discussion about them. However, I am not sure someone who wasn’t in the class would understand your analysis. Try to explain the quotations in simple terms but with good detail.
