Iva's feedback:

"I really appreciate how you try to ensure that the claims you make about Bradbury's writing style are supported by specific examples of how he employs them within a specific story. However, this would be easier to follow if you establish the story you will be using as your basis for evaluating Bradbury as a writer in your introduction rather than in the middle (especially since you use a quotation from the story before you ever mention it). Your argument would be further strengthened if you identified the two or three specific literary techniques that you think Bradbury excels at from the get-go and then used them as an organization tool for yourself; this would also give you a recipe for your conclusion, in which you could touch on these techniques and reiterate how Bradbury's mastery of them adds to the story. Furthermore, though the quotations you introduce are good choices for supporting the points you make, they would make more sense if you preceded them with signal phrases rather than just plopping them in to start their own sentences. Finally, please also make sure to review your comma usage and sentence formatting to make sure that you avoid sentence fragments."
