Evaluate the drafted changes
No edits have been made to the sandbox draft or the bibliography at the time of this review. Based on my reading of the existing article in its current form, here are some suggestions.

The article has a good lead and list of contents, allowing for readability. The overall tone is neutral. That being said, the first section discussing Themes, has space for including the natural imagery employed by Chateaubriand and its significance. The Christian imagery, which is illustrated in the novel and supported by photos attached to the article, can also be explored with supporting references, as discussed in class. The plot summary is succinct. However, the historical and cultural backdrop- Jesuits missions, colonization efforts of France and other European powers -  and the novella's reception in metropolitan France at the time it was published, are unexplored aspects that can be added to the article along with relevant references.

I notice that the article mentions Chateaubriand's being a denouncer rather than a supporter of the stereotype of the Noble Savage, but there are no supporting citations or references.

Overall, I think the article has a good framework and tone. It presents opportunities to build it out with background information, references and citations for certain claims and better connections with the associated images.
