Bridget's feedback:

"Your focus on campaign ads is a good choice to explore rhetoric and effect. Your point about the emphasis on pathos (end of para. 1) is an incisive one.

The essay's argumentation has a tendency to shy away from specificity (such as the other candidate's name and the year); this creates a rather nebulous discussion that the reader struggles to engage with directly. A key way to address this--and build up ethos and credibility--will be to properly cite the ads you discuss, including dates and titles as available. This can help the reader understand the body of "literature" you are dealing with, grounding the discussion.

Another way to help out the reader will be in proofreading for frequent minor errors that eventually build up to impact clarity. Proper punctuation and catching and fixing typos, among other lower-order concerns, will create a distraction-free reading experience that allows your reader to focus on the ideas."
