Bridget's feedback:

"Your use of signposting and signal phrases goes far in establishing the purpose, tone, and overall argumentative framework for this essay. That being said, the discussion may rely too much on an amenable audience and an energetic style: to fill in the gaps, consider sources and cited evidence that demonstrates how your stance is part of a broader conversation. This will further enhance ethos as credible and informed.

In a similar vein, watch for repeated phrasing ("Don't get me wrong") but, perhaps more importantly, think about why the discussion needs to reassure the reader in this way. Can you revise in order to eliminate this and other rhetorical flourishes, freeing up space for more purposeful use of logos?"
