Bridget's feedback:

"This is a good start that weaves together a solid set of sources and ideas. Your first task will likely be finishing the essay, which currently ends on a specific note that doesn't quite offer your reader a conclusion. Once you've finished this draft, a few tasks moving forward will include making sure all quotes are smoothly integrated through signal phrases and transitional language; I also recommend considering if the full second quote (page 1) is needed in an essay of this length.

Another task will be in proofreading and making sure language is clear and purposeful. For example, "Once the realization that..., then a full understanding..." is rather vague but, I think, is expressing a point key to the overall discussion; help the reader understand who or what must achieve these understandings to ensure this claim represents a firm building block in the argumentation."
