Angela's feedback:

"You do a superb job of analyzing how Achilles fights and dies in the Trojan War on his own terms. Your quotes flow naturally with the surrounding text, and your citations are cleanly done. However, while your first two paragraphs are very strong and make sense structurally, the rest of your body paragraphs are organized oddly and detract from the reading experience because so many of them are quite short. Consider reorganizing and joining smaller paragraphs to make larger, more substantial ones according to theme. For example, you could have a paragraph on how Achilles's values differ from Agamemnon's, another paragraph on why Achilles decides to fight knowing that he will die, and then another paragraph on how his acceptance of his death is yet another rejection of Achaean recognition. Aside from that, a final edit is recommended to catch any outstanding writing convention errors, such as your use of the word "revenge" when you mean "avenge.""
