Bridget's feedback:

"You've done well in crafting a balanced and objective essay, showing good control over such rhetorical devices as diction, tone, and counterargument and response. As you move forward, make sure to include your works cited page, which will allow the reader to evaluate your sources; related, I suggest moving all reference to page numbers into the parenthetical citations, rather than mentioning them in your text as signal phrases, as happens a few times in this current draft. Also related to formatting, make sure to properly format the last long quotation as a block quotation per your style guide; I do, however, question the effect of such a long quote -- have you considered paraphrasing or quoting only the most impactful moments?

As a few final notes, I do recommend going through and revising use of passive voice that doesn't enhance the discussion; and reading this in 2022, I imagine a future draft could incorporate more recent peer-reviewed sources."
