PL Notes for section 14

There should be between 0.5 and 1 second of silence at the beginning of the file it is currently shorter than this

There should be 5 seconds of silence at the end of the file it is currently shorter than this

If you could edit the file and re upload using the same filename that would be great thanks

I see that you might not have written the summary yet. I suggest a few quotes from the Preface for you to consider:

A man generally contrives to publish, during his lifetime, quite as much as the public has time or inclination to read; and his surviving friends are apt to show more zeal than discretion in dragging forth from his closed desk such undeveloped offspring of his mind as he himself had left to silence.
There is nothing in the present volume which any one possessed of brains and cultivation will not be thankful to read.
we are presented with the spectacle of a Titan, baring his arms and plunging heart and soul into the arena, there to struggle for death or victory with the superb phantoms summoned to the conflict by his own genius.
The character of old Doctor Grimshawe, and the picture of his surroundings, are hardly surpassed in vigor by anything their author has produced; and the dusky vision of the secret chamber, which sends a mysterious shiver through the tale, seems to be unique even in Hawthorne.

Yes not sure why but I find writing the summaries difficult. Thank you so much for that it makes perfect sense. Thank you for your section.
