K's feedback:

"This is a wonderful essay that delves deep into how social contract theory impacts life. Your example of Socrates refusing to escape because of his agreement with the state is credible and fits well with your argument. However, while this paper is well-written, it does not seem to be complete. The final paragraph here is still discussing the details of your main idea. To improve this paper, consider refining this paragraph and writing another that provides a brief summary of your work as well as its key insights. In addition, please include the page numbers to indicate where the quotes came from. This paper would also generally benefit from a round of editing."
