Jim's feedback:

"This is a thoughtful essay. Your first sentence is better written as two sentences: " ... willing to fight for. As Alexander Hamilton ... ." You have a stray comma after "and" in the next sentence, and "incredible similar" should be "incredibly similar." Toward the end of the first paragraph, you mix tenses. You say "it was not an easy or safe choice" and "they are thrilled," and you write "lead" instead of "led." Toward the end of page 1, you run thoughts together when you should be writing two sentences or separating thoughts with a semicolon. For example: "South of the Slot ... this side is rambunctious ... ." Notice also that you again mix tenses. You write "dominate" instead of "dominant" on page 2. You start page 3 with a comma splice. Then, "Farquhar's price paid was *that* his whole existence perished." You should hyphenate "day to day." Moving back to the top, notice that you do not identify the authors of the stories."
