Christina's feedback:

"You did very well bringing together the information needed to put your paper together. However, there are some things that you can do to make it stronger and ready to submit. The focus of your paper, such as what you want your reader to come away with, needs to be addressed in the first paragraph. This also gives them an idea of what they will be reading about in the following body paragraphs and conclusion. With content, it seems there are a lot of repeated ideas, such as the lottery, where the household redraws and Tessie gets the paper. With organization of the work, you want to be sure your content goes in order of introductory paragraph--where you give the focus of your paper--your body paragraphs, and then a strong conclusion. With formatting, I encourage you to review your MLA style guide in order to get updated information on page numbers, format of paragraphs, the works cited page, and in-text citations. Finally, let’s complete a round of strong proofreading to ensure all punctuation errors are taken care of before you submit your work. This will give you a strong paper and ensure you are ready for submittal."
