Bob's feedback:

"You've done a good job of capturing the essence of the story and you give the reader a good idea of the main characters' personalities and motivations. Make sure you are giving a decent overview of the story arc without providing too many unnecessary details. For instance, many of the quotations you cite are fairly mundane comments by characters and do not add to the reader's understanding of the story.

Pay attention to transitions so your summary flows smoothly. Rather than simply listing a series of events, explain how they relate to or lead into one another. You may also want to focus on at least one theme of the story and make sure your summary illustrates that theme.

Make sure to proofread as there are several errors that impact readability."
