Jenn's feedback:

"You have done an excellent job creating an introduction that lets the reader know what to expect in the body of the paper. You have also done a great job of including necessary details from the story. However, there appears to be inconsistent elaboration as far as the overall presentation of the paper's content. There are places where you have gone into a lot of detail, and there are other places where the reader is left with questions because of the lack of detail. Also, since there are so many specific details, there should be numerous in-text citations. In addition, the formatting of the paper makes it appear as if it is unfinished. There is a lot of highlighting, bold text for no apparent reason, and a section where there is highly inconsistent spacing. This lack of formatting makes it harder for the reader to understand what you are trying to communicate. Also, your paper does not appear to include a conclusion. Adding a conclusion would allow you to summarize the main points in the body of the essay and relate those points to the thesis statement in the introduction. Last, there are many grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure errors throughout the piece, leading to reader confusion."
