Bob's feedback:

"You have some good insights about what makes Ippolit come to his conclusions and what those conclusions are. You have an interesting theme -- the idea that one shouldn't wait for the certainty of death to begin to live -- but there is little support for that idea throughout your paper. Try expanding on that idea throughout your supporting paragraphs, especially because you circle back to it in your conclusion.

You make a number of broad and vague statements without doing much analysis of the narrative or its themes. If you're going to make a grand claim, be sure to connect it to the text.

There are a number of awkwardly worded sentences. Take a close look at the first sentence of both your intro and conclusion, for example. Transitions between ideas within paragraphs are also often abrupt."
