Bridget's feedback:

"You've crafted an ambitious paper with a number of related discussions. To ensure the reader gets the full impact of each thread, focus on organization and argumentation as you move forward. Some areas to pay attention to include the final paragraph, which covers nearly four pages; rather than overwhelming the reader with a dense block of text, use paragraphing to both guide their reader experience and help organize your own argument -- a reverse outline technique applied to those latter pages may be a good place to start!

Related, subheadings may help organize the discussion as well, including delineating the movement into more subjective or personal discussion toward the end (this, however, may depend on the assignment details; you may need to standardize your approach across all pages, as well as the diction). Prior to the last four pages, the discussion moves back and forth a few times; again, a reverse outlining approach can help with mapping that movement and seeing where similar ideas can be grouped together more purposefully."
