Amanda's feedback:

"I thought you provided a lot of interesting detail here and I loved your use of quotes to support your arguments! One major issue in this paper, however, is adherence to MLA conventions. For example, all of your quotes should be followed by a page number, and the punctuation of the quote should come within the final quotation mark (instead of outside as it's written now). You also need to add a Works Cited page at the end with your sources listed on the page. Another major issue in this paper is the lack of a clear thesis and conclusion. It's not enough to simply summarize the work, you must also indicate your viewpoint or the argument you are making about the work. You are analyzing it, so it's important to present *your* analysis. Finally, this work could use extensive proofreading/editing prior to submission."
