Jenn's feedback:

"This paper is off to a great start. It is clear by reading your essay what the purpose of it is. I would suggest that you add a thesis statement to your introduction that guides your paper and emphasizes the intention of your essay from the beginning.

You present many good ideas in your writing, but they are not always well supported with evidence. Also, sometimes ideas are presented but not well explained. To resolve this, consider using more supportive evidence from the texts. Also, when you use quotes as supporting evidence, try to integrate them without rough transitions. One example of a rough transition in your paper is when you say, "This quotation helps display...".

While I have already mentioned how you should add a thesis statement to your introduction, I also suggest that you elaborate on your conclusion. Use the conclusion as an opportunity to highlight all the main points you made in the body of the text.

There are some formatting issues scattered throughout the document. The most noticeable ones are the way you inconsistently present the titles of works. Some have quotation marks around them, and some do not. You could also consider italicizing all titles so that they stand out from the text. Another thing to consider doing is adding citations to your text. Whenever you use a quote, it should be clear what text it came from, who wrote the text, and what page the passage can be found on. Last, there is a significant number of grammar and punctuation errors throughout the paper. Make sure that your paper goes through a round of proofreading so that these can be resolved and your writing is more cohesive and coherent."
