Bridget's feedback:
"You've done a good job guiding your reader through this overview of Jamaican food culture. You deploy sources at appropriate moments to strengthen your points. (Depending on your prompt, I would suggest also including more recent sources.) I want to suggest moving the geography/economics paragraph earlier in the paper; it seems to repeat similar information to the opening paragraphs, so I would suggest going over the discussion and seeing what can be streamlined--I think this will be easiest if the geography discussion is grouped closer to the overview near the beginning. There were two moments in the paper where broad claims felt unsubstantiated and seemed to contradict information given in the thesis (final sentence of the Intro): the first was that "The only unique function" is drinking during concerts; this will need to be explained: what makes the rest of the food culture "not unique"--is it due to shared regional characteristics with nearby islands? Imported tastes and practices, lingering effects of British colonialism, modern American cultural influences...? The statement that feasting only occurs during holidays and thus must not be religious was also a little confusing; if it is the case that there are no religious holidays in Jamaica, you will need to explain this to the reader."
