  1. As you already know who I am, there's no need for introduction.
    Based from reading this,the majority of the questions weren't answered for the conspicuous reasons being that this draft is still in the process of being completed.In regards to the questions answered,only questions 1-3 were.
    Aside from that, there are some grammatical errors as well as punctuation.Also you should give quote to the context that isn't in your ownership such as
    "his crime was brought about by roger star deciding to financially ailing New York City to gradually reduced in blighted areas from where residents were moving out in droves." That's actually from the Daily News in March of 1976 or 71.Please be careful when quoting and so forth.That could and would be considered as plagiarism.
    Well I bid you good luck with the essay.I hope this becomes of significant use for you.

  2. I was a bit lost with the introduction of the essay I know that it is a work in progress, but you stated that Plant shrinkage was a crime, when it was just a policy or theory introduced by Roger Starr to develop impoverished neighborhoods by forcing the tenants out. There should be an emphasis also on the personal views of Roger Starr. Good luck on the rest of your paper.
