Good job using quotes as supporting evidence for your statements. I also liked your picture. Things to improve would be the spacing between each paragraph. Also, review the MLA rules about citation. You don't have to type a p, as to note the page #, just type the #. Also don't type the author's full name, you just need the last name.
