Bridget's feedback:

"This is a fun read, and you've done a great job exploring how myth and fact come together. The narration of how you chose the topic, shaping your research questions, and doing the actual research adds an interesting layer that feels appropriate to the cryptid story. This essay will need a careful proofread before any final submission. Watch out for typos (missing spaces, spelling or incorrect words) and occasional errors like comma splices, which can be amended using punctuation fixes (semicolon, colons), starting a new sentence, or revising. In deciding which works best, consider pacing, flow, and style."
