Bridget's feedback:

"You've rounded up a solid array of details and facts, and your straightforward presentation creates an effective portrait. The order in which the second half of the discussion is presented (reporting his death and then moving back in time) is a little puzzling; take a moment and consider the purpose of doing so. To accommodate this current organization, consider starting a new paragraph after "Do not disturb my diagrams."; more generally, consider paragraphing across this current single paragraph to help emphasize the discussion's flow.

You show good control over the writing mechanics, with a few errors that can be spotted with a thorough proofread. I also spot opportunities for revision to enhance clarity, such as in the third sentence, where "He was an astronomer" only clarifies afterwards if "he" refers to Archimedes or Phidias. Revise this so the reader doesn't need to wait for that clarification: "Archimedes' father was Phidias, an astronomer; ..."."
