Bridget's feedback:

"This is a robust engagement with Sinclair's text, and you are in a great place having mined the book for direct quotes--your material is down on the page and you are drawing the connections between the analysis and evidence within the planned structure, which moves logically and purposefully in this draft. Refining the presentation will help create further cohesiveness and demonstrate your control over the material: in particular, concentrate on the paragraph openings where you drop a quote and then follow up with a commentary sentence. Can you revise those to fuse together the commentary and quotation? Consider signal phrases and other phrasing that helps smooth out the transition between outside text and your own writing.

A few recurring lower-order concerns in the current draft include comma errors. Proofread to catch these and, while doing so, reformat the book's title as italics, no quotation marks, each time it is used."
