Christina's feedback:

"Your essay starts out with a great hook: these images from the story definitely grab the reader's attention. Your thesis statement is clear, but it should be a part of the introduction, rather than standing alone as its own paragraph. The transitions between body paragraphs aren't always strong; I'd especially advise against starting with a quotation, as the reader doesn't have the same context you do. Set up quotations clearly so that the reader knows what the quote is intended to support, and be sure to integrate those into the text smoothly. There is repetitive language throughout; while it's okay and normal to refer back to the same ideas multiple times, varying your language will keep your essay more interesting and engaging. The title of the work (The Yellow Wallpaper) and the author's last name (Gilman) are incorrect throughout your essay. A round of editing will help you resolve these issues, along with the errors in punctuation, sentence structure, and word choice."
