The past tense is most prominent in my draft. My use of these tenses allows the viewer to effectively relive the controversy and explore it from multiple perspectives. The changes in tense flow well, and I refrained from misusing them in any way. The present tense is advantageous to my essay as it engages the viewer more than a past-tense recalling of the events.
