Good cluster of cites. I don’t have the clearest sense of what you want to argue and how these various voices work with and against this central argument, so that will be your challenge as you work towards finishing this project. I also note some inconsistencies in your use of MLA style: I think you may have over-relied on the databases pre-formatted cites, which seem not all to use MLA? You need to review all this before submission of the final.
