Bridget's feedback:

"You are off to a good start, and you've brought together a lot of material that informs the reader. My comments will apply whether this represents two essays or one essay (in the case of the latter, use transitional language to move from the biographical discussion to the analysis; you may also want to distill down the biographical material further, depending on the prompt).

My first comment is that the very long paragraph ("The book also shows how things that happen in childhood...") is far too long, overwhelming the reader with plot detail. You can either select the most effective and relevant details to use as evidence in a streamlined paragraph, or you can look into ways to break up that current paragraph into smaller related discussions (perhaps by character).

My second comment is regarding some lower-order concerns that should be cleaned up with a proofread. These will include properly formatting titles, catching minor mechanics errors, and checking your style guide for line, paragraph, and page formatting to ensure a polished final submission."
