Article Evaluation
Most of the things written in this article about Carrie Nation relate to the topic. It is mostly about her life and what experiences she has gone through. There are some parts where it talks about her mother's life and health. This is a little distracting because this article is supposed to be about Carrie Nation and bringing in the information that was included about her mother did not add anything relevant to the article. At the end of the article, there is a small paragraph about the hospital Nation was brought to when she collapsed during her speech. This was distracting from the main topic because this article is supposed to be about Nation's life and the information about the hospital is not helping the reader to better understand Nation's life.
Most of the citations are linked to other websites and sources that work. There are a few citations that are listed, but do not link to any other sources.
