Peer Review

I am quite impressed with this article. I love how the introduction is brief and leaves details for latter sections of the article. The early life and education gives readers a chance to know Matthews a bit more personally just by including the quote of how she was described when she was younger. Her political activism section is chock full with her accomplishments and activism within her jobs. Expanding a bit on her short stories was a nice touch to give readers insight about her work as a writer and storyteller. Overall, I think the page is great.

Peer Review

1.What does the article do well? Is there anything from your review that impressed you? Any turn of phrase that describes the subject in a clear way? I loved that you were into detail about each short story. this is important because you can tell so much about in author by their work.

2. What changes would you suggest the author apply to the article? Why would those changes be an improvement ? I would say add to the tribute section because right now it seems insufficient, but I am sure there are some more tributes or other story books that are inspired by her that you could put there.

3. What's the most important thing the author could do to improve the article? I think expand on tribute and maybe more in the marriage and family life section.

4. Did you notice anything about the article you reviewed that could be applicable to your own article? I like that they made a section for short stories. Although it doesn't relate to my article exactly. It gave me the idea that maybe there is a book written on the society I am writing about that could relate or is in reference to.

5. Looking at the lead by itself do I feel satisfied that I know the importance of the topic? Yes, you can definitely tell the importance of the topic

6. looking at the lead again after reading the rest of the article, does the lead reflect the most important information? Yes, it does reflect the important information.

7. does the lead give more weight to certain parts of the article over others? Is anything missing? Is anything redundant? No, I think overall, it's a great lead.

8. Are the sections organized well, in a sensible order? Would they make more sense presented some other way? I think they're organized well but some areas just need more information if possible.

9. is each section's length equal to its importance to the articles subject? Are there sections in the article that seem unnecessary? Is anything off topic? The journalism section seems a bit irrelevant to be its own section. I would consider making it a subsection for another part.

10. Does the article reflect all perspectives represented in published literature? Are any significant viewpoints left out or missing? Yes, I think the article does reflect all perspectives in regard to her literature.

11. Does the article draw conclusions or try to convince the reader to accept one particular point of view? No, it was very unbiased

12. do you think you could guess the perspective of the author by reading the article? No, I don't think I could guess the perspective of the author just by reading the article.

13. Are there any words or phrases that don't feel natural? No, I didn't see any it was written in a very unbiased way.

14. does the article make claims on behalf of unarmed groups or people? No, it doesn't.

15. Does the article focus too much on negative or positive information remember, neutral doesn't mean “the best possible light” or “the worst, most critical light.” It means a clear reflection of various aspects of the topic.

 I think it does a good job not focusing on one or the other too much.
