Peer Review 1: No Name Cognition: I think that your proposition is good and definitely falls within the genre of a justificatory argument. However, I’m not sure that your argument feels like a justificatory argument. This seems to me to be like an explanatory piece overall because you don’t provide much evidence to support your proposition. You explain the background of your argument, but you don’t explain why the debate about Cleopatra’s race has relevance and why it should continue. This is…
