Bob's feedback:

"You do an excellent job of analyzing the symbolism of Poe's work and digging beyond the surface to demonstrate both the literal and figurative significance of objects and phrases. Since your essay focuses on these things, consider revising your thesis to reflect that. In your introduction, you focus on the lingering effects of grief and pain, yet the rest of the essay outlines the literary devices that Poe uses to illustrate those feelings, not the nature of those feelings."
