1. Based off of my draft I have affirmed Brandt’s definition of a sponsor as a whole as well as a sponsor as a withholder.  Along with confirming, I challenge Brandt’s belief that sponsorship through withholding only creates negative impacts, attitudes and memories. I believe that sponsorship through withholding can in-fact enable confidence and independence. In addition to this, I do not believe that sponsors as a whole need to gain something out of helping another, this shows yet another challenge to the author’s definition. I was also looking into showing how sponsors also don’t need to supply resources, instead they can simply share their knowledge.
  2. Overall my peer group believes that my introduction goes too in depth and is too lengthy. That I should cut it down as well as distribute some of the information into my body paragraphs for a lead in to the topic. As far as  introduction of authors goes I believe I did well, my group’s only comment for improvement is introducing the sources by their full name.
  3. As far as revision goes for evidence in my first draft I believe that the evidence I have is very strong, and my peers agree with me. Although I definitely need to add a quote in from Williams at some point due to full-filling the projects requirements. And as I mentioned above I would like to look into showing how sponsors do not need to have direct resources in order to be considered a sponsor. This would require two new pieces of evidence.
