Bridget's feedback:

"Your application of critical commentary and analysis brings depth to this essay, and I was particularly interested in your final paragraph exploring the characterization of the female characters. I wonder if your brief second-to-last paragraph on metaphor should be further rooted in the film's reception; the current discussion is pretty broad ("the government... the laws..."). Another aspect that feels less clear is Ward's (1999) commentary. Without seeing the source info, I had trouble, as your reader, understanding what specific lens Ward brings (is her focus women, China, culture, gender roles, film criticism?); similarly, introduce the film fully (director, year, source text). I see that the Ward quotation at the top of page 3 isn't closed. This and occasional other typos (including dropped words) will need to be amended before any final submission."
