Bridget's feedback:

"This is a detailed summary that demonstrates your understanding of the story and the science informing the sci-fi elements. I struggle to pinpoint the ultimate purpose of the essay; if I had to guess, I might assume it is related to the focus on the pH scale as used in the film. This is really interesting! However, you don't want to leave your reader guessing. Using a thesis, introduction, or other signposting language, guide the reader into the essay so they understand if you've chosen to focus on certain aspects of the film, and how this manifests in the essay form--is this an analysis, a critique, a summary?

Other tasks will include proofreading and formatting the page and paragraphs according to your assigned style guide, but I recommend first focusing on the higher-order concerns described above."
