After reviewing my first draft and receiving feedback from my peer and instructor I have made quite a few changes. First off when peer reviewed, I was given great advice as there wasn’t a thesis statement nor was there an introduction really. After reviewing and revising, there is now a clear thesis statement and introduction. When my instructor reviewed my work, I had seen the amount of grammatical errors such as spelling and structure throughout my paper. I made correct adjustments to the grammatical errors as well as structure as best I could. Both peer and instructor mentioned summary, as I looked over my work I had inserted a much clearer summary.

I wanted to thank my peer and instructor immensely as it helped tremendously.
