MJ's feedback:

"Your summary discusses some interesting points about Ned Kelly, and you're off to a good start in terms of organization. Watch for typos -- for example, "victim" and "hero" should not be capitalized. The main weakness of your piece is your inconsistent citations; many of your claims are not adequately sourced or cited. For instance, you claim that Kelly was known for his armour, but there is no indication where you found this information. Every sentence that discusses information found in a source -- even if you are only paraphrasing, not directly quoting -- should be cited. With this in mind, re-read your paper and ensure that you add citations for all cited material, and focus on drawing clear connections between this material in support of your thesis. Check with your instructor to be certain that you are following the required citation style, too -- you selected "Other," and your paper does not appear to conform to a particular style, but usually certain basic information, such as a page number for direct quotes, is needed. Your existing citations seem incomplete, and the book Black Snake is not on your reference list at all. A round of editing may help to correct some of these issues."
