Bridget's feedback:

"You are off to a good start, and the current draft shows evidence of your engagement with the text and your facility with close-reading to analyze the literary devices and build a thesis that defines a theme or deeper meaning in a text. This draft seems to exist somewhere between outline and fully fleshed-out rough draft, with the earlier paragraphs showing more robust argumentation and connective tissue; the later paragraphs on diction, irony, and the title are more sparse, and your next steps will likely be to keep filling those out so they can stand on their own as focused and full paragraphs.

When you've finished this, you can turn your attention to polishing up the writing, such as in the conclusion, which has a tendency to repeat or meander, as well as for purposes of clarity. Watch out, too, for minor errors that impact ethos and also cause clarity issues, such as omitting the quotation marks around the short story's title in the second paragraph, which can throw the reader off."
