Bridget's feedback:

"This essay does a good job setting up the lessons learned and then explaining how they help Odysseus when he reaches home. I do see a few opportunities where streamlining and some focused reorganization could help with flow and overall clarity. In the first two body paragraphs, I recommend tightening up some of the plot summary so the description of what happens moves a little faster and the reader reaches the analysis sooner. Regarding the third body paragraph, consider introducing the Circe examples earlier in the body so that the last body paragraph can focus on what happens in Ithaca, rather than zigzagging backward in the timeline."
