Topic: Enslaved Women in Households
Thesis: Living the life of an enslaved woman, reflects the lifestyle of changed households and changed lives.
Professor's comments:
marks 'living the life' and 'lifestyle': These mean the same thing. What do you mean exactly?
marks 'changed households' and 'changed lives': Define these.
(name redacted) - I think you need to be more specific. You can do this by defining the terms I've underlined above; also focusing on a specific time period. Come see me + perhaps I can help you work through all this.
