Questions:

1. The present tense.

2. I believe that my emphasis on the present and past tenses gives my project a reflective and scene-setting tone. I feel that by abstaining from the future tense until the last line that I properly alluded to the ongoing nature of this controversy with my tone.

3. I feel that my tones, though shifting frequently between the past and present tenses flow well because in their contexts I properly articulate the causes using the past tense and then the effects using the present.

4. I use the present tense frequently in order to illustrate the incompleteness of this controversy which is important because the event in question has not happened yet.
