First, what does the article do well? Is there anything from your review that impressed you? Any turn of phrase that described the subject in a clear way?

I think that the article handles the different sections very well, as it provides clear information that demonstrates the complexity of the subject. For example, by creating two different sections for Mass Migration and Increased Living Standards, I got a stronger understanding of how Operation Bootstrap was a blessing for those who managed to get jobs and a curse for those who could not secure any work.

What changes would you suggest the author apply to the article? Why would those changes be an improvement?

I would suggest that the author include some more dates in the later sections. I believe this can be an improvement because it would help the readers understand when things were happening in relation to Operation Bootstrap. For example, was there any specific date or moment that started the high volatility of employment which led to emigration? Did emigration slow down after a certain point or did it remain strong for many years? I think that this extra context could help readers understand the short term and long term effects of the operation.

What's the most important thing the author could do to improve the article?

The author could perhaps contextualize the graph provided in writing if they wish to explain what the graph represents for those who may not be able to grasp its contents. This could allow the author to also go more in depth about specifics in regards to changes in the economy that aren't yet covered. For example, the author could discuss the different types of manufacturing jobs that appeared, or perhaps which cities had the biggest impact on the industrialization of the island. I would also be interested to know why the chart stops after the 1970s? Did anything significant happen in the decades after?

Did you notice anything about the article you reviewed that could be applicable to your own article? Let them know!

I definitely like the use of different headings! My article has a lot of different information in regards to organizations and newspapers that Jesús Colón was involved in, so breaking the information up into different sections may be helpful for the reader.
