Pablo's feedback:

"You have clearly identified several areas of comparison between the two works. You have also included relevant material from the two works. However, your paper does need deeper analysis of the material and clearer explanation of key concepts. For example, it would be helpful if you more clearly defined what the Old and New South represent so that you can apply these ideas to the characters and effectively compare them. Inconsistent capitalization, for example in the title of "Gone With the Wind," or South, distract from the material. The citations also need to be revised to follow MLA guidelines."
