Essay - just in case..

Hi everyone,


I added this onto the previous blog post, but in case you haven't read it yet:

Your new essay is an 'open text' essay:

Rosedale asks, 'Why should I mind saying that I want to get into society?'
In light of this comment, discuss Wharton's presentation of social ambition in the novel.

Hope that's all clear.  :)
