Bridget's feedback:

"You've done an excellent job creating a focused and detailed discussion oriented around the thesis (Suze's growth). Specific examples from the text, backed by relevant quotations, ensure a strong presentation. Keep an eye on occasional mechanics issues and typos, and make sure any final submission for your course is clean (the copy I worked with had some formatting issues that will make an essay look unfinished and can make the text hard to follow). As a final note, I notice that you open with the atomic bomb, using it as a hook and also to introduce the story's context and setting. This is not referred to again, which might confuse your reader. Help the reader understand how the historic and geographic settings create a context for the personal story that is the focus of your essay. How does Klages use these world historical events to enhance or develop the story of Suze's growth?"
