Very good start!
However you need to pay attention to the grammar and spelling. e.g. not Noe Dada but Neo Dada. Also you have to choose either the past or the present tense in your narrative. It confusing for the reader when yo mix these two tenses.
I would suggest that you start putting the Bibliography and the in-text references.
