Jenn's feedback:

"This paper is off to a good start. With a little bit of work put into each aspect of the paper, you will significantly improve it. The paper is very well-formatted, which is essential for reading comprehension and the cohesiveness of the writing. I recommend that you remove the extra spacing between the paragraphs, add indentations in your references, and change the title of the reference section. You can resolve most other issues with the paper by working on the introduction and conclusion a bit. The introduction does not end with a clear thesis statement. While it is clear what text you are basing your writing on, it is not clear why you are discussing this topic. It would help if you used the conclusion to summarize the main points you made in the body of the paper and relate them to the thesis statement. This will allow the reader to be clear on the purpose of the paper show that you stayed focused on that purpose throughout your writing. Regarding the content of your essay, you do not always include smooth transitions when you are moving from one topic to the next, so make sure to include those between your sentences and paragraphs to improve cohesion. One area that could use significant work is punctuation. For instance, there is a consistent lack of commas and hyphens. Taking care of this will also improve reading comprehension."
