Angela's feedback:

"You do a good job of explaining the basic elements of an apologia and analyzing how Woods did or did not incorporate them in his speech. However, your content would be easier to understand if you provided more background information on the speech itself and the surrounding circumstances that led to the speech. For example, you should specify when the speech was given and provide citations for your direct quotes. It would also be a good idea to clarify who the alleged abuser and victim were with the physical abuse allegations. Your paper would look neater overall if you indented the first line of each paragraph by half an inch. Proper nouns such as “Tiger Woods” should always be capitalized. Typos include the use of “once” instead of “ounce,” and there are misspelled words such as “scandle” instead of “scandal.”"
