Angela's feedback:

"It is clear that you have a broad understanding of the book, but the lack of details regarding various topics can leave the reader confused. For example, for those unfamiliar with Oppenheimer’s life story, it’s unclear what tragic end you’re talking about when you briefly mention it in the second paragraph. There’s a word choice problem with the use of “mischievous,” and the first word after a semicolon should not be capitalized. Phrases such as “they refer Teller” and “should not subjective” are especially awkward and need revision for clarity. In APA style, an in-text citation should feature the author’s last name and the year of publication for the relevant work. When you have a direct quote, a page number should also be added. Your use of the phrase “rise and fall from political grace” is especially confusing. If the phrase is a book title, the sentence needs to be reworked. If it’s a description, it shouldn’t be capitalized or italicized. If it’s a direct quote, it should be enclosed in quotation marks, and a citation should be added to the sentence."
