Angela's feedback:

"You do a good job of discussing how the poem portrays the idea of democracy. Your direct quotes are on point, and you provide high-quality analysis of them. From here, you can make minor edits to the essay to strengthen your writing. The title of a poem should be enclosed in parentheses instead of underlined, and consistent use of either single or double quotation marks would make your work look neater. There is at least one typo with the use of “he” instead of “the,” and for your parenthetical citations, the word “lines” should be used instead of “line” when you’re referencing more than one line from the poem."
