Kenneth,

there are times when you need to unpack your
evidence more clearly. In other words, you need to
explain how the evidence IS evidence. Furthermore,
you need to make sure that you transition f rom
paragraph to paragraph in a way that displays the
connection between topics. Finally, you need to try
to simplif y your language a bit. Academic writing is
of ten the bet when it's simple, clear, and concise. I
have highlighted a f ew places where this would be
benef icial. I look f orward to your next paper.

evidence. Furthermore, af ter you explain the evidence, make sure that you take the time to
connect this to your argument.
T ry to simplif y this claim a bit more, I am not sure what you mean here.
