Bridget's feedback:

"You propose an interesting project in your essay in arguing for the validity or reality of a historical moral panic, and a reader will be curious to see further sourcing and evidence to back up the claims about early twentieth century behaviors and cultural norms. However, the current draft's reliance on broad generalization and cliché becomes a barrier for ethos and logos in the persuasive project. As you move into the next draft, start working with the relevant literature and exploring ways to integrate quotations and direct evidence into your paper.

Another area for focus will be in presentation: in the current copy, some letters have been shifted around, hampering readability. I also recommend paragraphing -- this may be related to the formatting issues, or the use of a single long paragraph may be by design; whatever the case, there are enough threads and claims to warrant more than one paragraph as you move through the discussion."
