Bridget's feedback:

"This writeup demonstrates your engagement with the text, as well as the time spent thinking about it from the point of view of literary analysis and the various elements of the novel. The current draft is rather difficult to parse out in terms of purpose and form. As this appears to be both a rough draft and reader response notes, your next step is likely to start working the elements on the page into a formal essay structure. An essay may certainly encompass analysis and book review; however, check against your prompt to make sure you are heading in the right direction in the next draft."
