Bridget's feedback:

"You have quite a bit of material to work with here, and you want to make sure your reader can keep up. Securely integrating the quotations into your own sentences will improve the clarity--right now, the quotations are dropped into the paragraph with little signaling, making it quite hard to navigate the paragraphs. Do all your chosen quotations do direct work for the argumentation? Does each quotation need to be given in full? Being selective helps focus your reader's attention. Purposeful organization within the body paragraphs will also help your reader; make sure the discussion moves clearly from one idea to the next. Don't go back and forth--rather, finish one point before moving on to the next. Finally, make sure to proofread and check up on your style guide for in-text citations. I suggest looking into the use of abbreviated titles in the citations so you don't need to keep giving the full name of the Address each time you cite from it. As a final note, "surly bonds" and "touch the face of God" are quotations from a poem; that evidence might be better in the allusion paragraph."
