Flip's Evaluation: I think this draft of your contributions to the page for The Handmaid's Tale is very well written. You do a good job of remaining neutral while describing the situation and the opinions of others regarding the way that Atwood seems to look past the connections between her story and conditions that many African-Americans during the time of slavery. However, I think it would be good to start adding citations directly into the material you plan on adding so that readers are fully aware of where the information is coming from and do not see your work as original thought. Besides the matter of needed citations, I feel that your paragraph designed to fill the lack of race-aware content is structurally sound and provides a valuable insight for potential readers.

Olivia's Evaluation:
I love this addition, especially looking at what the section was before. I think you did good with staying neutral and not using opinionated language. I think for anyone who has read the book it's apparent that Atwood takes a lot of the context from American slavery, and doesn't mention it at all in the book. I love how you were able to find some sources with scholars etc that also talk about Atwood's lack of acknowledgment in the book. I would go into a little more detail with the thought in your last sentence about how critics believe Atwood purposely didn't acknowledge the connections. We talked about that a little in our class when we were reading the book and someone mentioned how even in interviews Atwood didn't ever or rarely mentioned race. Also I would add your citations in. Other than that I love it! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Obaggott06 (talk • contribs) 04:43, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

Response to Feedback
a. What feedback did you receive on the article's talk page or from your peer reviewers?

I did not receive any feedback on "The Handmaid's Tale" talk page. Although, I did receive feedback from my peers. They stated that I did a great job of remaining neutral and not opinionated when writing my content gaps. Olivia gave me a great idea to add onto the section by elaborating more on why critics believe that Atwood purposely ignored the discussion of race surrounding the novel. In addition, both Flip and Olivia told me to start directly putting my sources into my content.

b. Based on this feedback, how will you revise the new content you drafted?

Based on the feedback that I have received, I will elaborate more on why critics believe Atwood purposely ignored her borrowings from the African-American experience. In addition, I will add my citations the correct way. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mayadray (talk • contribs) 16:35, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
