Jenn's feedback:

"Your paper is very well-organized, which is essential because it gives the piece a strong foundation. You included an introduction with a clear thesis statement that communicates the purpose of your paper and a conclusion that summarized the main points made in the piece nicely. Because of this, it is also clear that you remain focused on your topic. I do have a suggestion for your introduction, though. Your opening sentence talks about jealousy, leading the reader to believe that the essay's primary focus is jealousy, but that does not come across throughout your writing. If the primary focus of your paper is not jealousy, consider removing this line. For the most part, the content of your essay is excellent, but some places could benefit from some elaboration. A particular aspect that stuck out to me was when you mention that Abigail lies, but you do not discuss what she lies about. Last, while you have a good overall command of grammar, sentence structure, and punctuation, there are some errors throughout your writing. Some of them are also word choice errors, such as using "sociopathy" instead of "sociopath." Also, if the name "Abby" is not used in the text, you should not use it in your writing."
