Julie's feedback:

"You have done a good job in clearly laying out the historical context for the ideas of Voltaire and other Enlightenment thinkers. Your application of Voltaire's statement to contemporary debates does not completely work, however. Voltaire seems to be defending free speech, even for those one disagrees with. Your discussion doesn't really touch on the issue of free speech. In addition, some sentences should be rewritten to avoid repetition of words ( for example, "many" in the first sentence) and for more precise and accurate word choices (both imprecise words such as "things" and inaccurate word choices such as "incensement"). In addition, quotations should not form stand-alone sentences. Finally, please proofread your essay for grammar and punctuation errors: sentence fragments, missing apostrophes, and capitalization inconsistencies."
