Bridget's feedback:

"You are off to a good start! I can definitely see how the bones of this draft can be carried forward into the next draft. You've done a lot of the heavy lifting, including rounding up your textual evidence (and the citations!), as well as deciding how and in what order to present them. As you move forward, you'll want to start adding the connective tissue -- transitions, signposting language, and proper mechanics to form complete sentences with flow -- and remove the scaffolding of the outline (the labels for the introduction, "Paragraph1", etc.).

Regarding the argumentation, I see body paragraphs that examine both characters' actions; however, I see that the thesis and conclusion only mention Romeo. As you move forward, decide if you want to reframe your central claim and say something about both Romeo and Juliet, or if you'll want to shift your body discussion to more actively emphasize Romeo.

As a final note, I notice you emphasize the two characters' willingness to cast aside their families. Can you probe this contrast between the hate-fueled feud and Romeo and Juliet's love a little more so the reader understands how the context contributes to your thesis?"
