Bridget's feedback:

"Your engagement with the text at multiple levels shows the time you've spent reading and considering Camus' work. In each section, you further demonstrate clear control over the structure, argumentation, evidence, and analytical tasks. The writing itself is mechanically sound and crafted well in terms of pacing, flow, sentence variety, and diction. Occasional issues, such as formatting the title, should be dealt with via a thorough proofread.

This piece has many strengths at the higher- and lower-orders, but it is unclear if you are working with a single thesis-oriented prompt. If you are, you likely recognize your next steps: crafting a thesis, imposing an overall structure over the various parts of this current draft using an introduction and conclusion, and bringing it all together at the microlevel as well with transitional language and signposting. Even if this can remain as a sort of writing journal or notecatcher, do make sure your page and line formatting is correct and ready for submission."
