Jenn's feedback:

"Your essay starts with a compelling introduction that makes it clear to the reader what the essay is going to be about. You also go into great detail with each character, allowing the reader to better understand what led to different characters' choices. Many of your citations do not appear to include the correct information. Citations, typically speaking, should include author's last names and years of publication. It seems that sometimes you have included the name of the publisher. Also, citations after direct quotes should not only include a page number but also the author's last name and the year of publication. There are several places where word order causes sentences to sound awkward. One such example is, "...they are shown the consequences, whether good or bad, of each choice." which would sound better written, "...they are shown the good and bad consequences of each choice." You ended the conclusion with a well-rounded essay that summarizes the important aspects of the story."
