Bob's feedback:

"You have some useful insights into the text that could be organized into a strong essay, but this paper needs a bit of work in order to shine. The frequent use of quotations is a bit jarring, and your analysis seems to depend heavily on your reader's familiarity with the text you're referencing. This is especially evident in those places where you truncate a quote with ellipses, such as "In these hard.....in the main." This quote doesn't hold any meaning for anyone not extremely familiar with the quoted text and as such doesn't support your arguments. The main focus of the essay is also difficult to figure out. While it seems that your purpose is to analyze Bradford's retelling of historical events, in large part the essay simply gives a summary of his writing. The first two sentences of your intro paragraph also set up an expectation that isn't realized in the essay. Finally, keep an eye out for grammar mistakes and awkward wording, such as "became on good terms with" and "there for" instead of "therefore.""
