Bridget's feedback:

"You've put together an interesting discussion on this group of texts. I would like to check in on the analytical framework, as I notice the first three texts are summarized for a statement on meaning, and then the shorter, final body paragraph on Night is offered more as an example than a text that offers a definition (it is also put in conversation with the Buddhist paragraph that comes before it). I recommend solidifying your analytical approach and the hierarchy and uses of the texts as you move into your next steps.

At the lower-order level, make sure to fully introduce each text (authors, properly formatted titles), and use a solid proofread to catch occasional errors. I also suggest incorporating a bit more language reflective of the introduction's vocabulary (particularly "meaning") in the very last sentence to help the reader see the full arc of the discussion."
