Grade my Paper

Essay on Doctrine of Discovery.

Doctrine of Discovery or ‘DoD’ is the concept of how new land was discovered in the early 1600-1800’s, it is how land was apportioned and what rights of that land went to who and how in the New World.

When land was discovered, Doctrine of Discovery was used to apportion land to the which person, or nation made the claim to the land. When challenges to land were made, DoD was used to determine who had the rights to land. Because the new world indigenous people were not Christian, they had no rights to the land. As with anything in life, first discovery is sort of like finders keepers in today’s life. The first person to discover the land is the owner. The discoverer gained property rights and all rights associated with that land. In order for first discovery to be legal and lawful was the first nation that discovered it had to occupy and possess the land. The nation of first discovery also had the right of preemption which prevented other European nations to purchase the land.

4 more paragraphs to go.

A few things, on a PM request:

1. You say "the land" like five times, in an incredibly repetitive manner.

2. "Doctrine of Discovery or ‘DoD’ is the concept of how new land was discovered in the early 1600-1800’s, it is how land was apportioned and what rights of that land went to who and how in the New World."
- "it is how land..." should be a new sentence, but should start differently because it's essentially the same opening as the ending of the previous one.
- you use two "and's" inappropriately.

3. The first two sentences of your paragraph say the same thing as the introduction, and as one another.

4. "sort of like finders keepers in today's life" may be informal depending on the nature of the essay. It's also not true that this is "as with anything in life".

5. "The first person to discover the land is the owner" says the same thing as the previous sentence.

6. The sentence after that is, once again, identical.

7. The sentence after that is the same as the sentence before it...

8. "prevented other European nations to purchase..." should be "prevented other European nations from purchasing".

Cool, thank you, but literally there is a lot of repetition with this, the teacher even has said that a few times that a lot of this has redundancies.
