Bob's feedback:

"You seem to have a good handle on the major plot points and general themes of the story, and you use some good examples to illustrate these. However, the focus of the paper is somewhat unclear. While your thesis centers on setting and you mention its importance throughout the essay, it's rarely made clear how the setting has a direct impact on the events of the story. Make sure you return to this idea and drive home how the setting itself is integral to the story.

This essay will need a thorough round of proofreading. There are frequent instances of misused words and many sentences are difficult to parse. Focus on clarity as well as conventions."
