Bob's feedback:

"You've done a good job of identifying how Holden's portrayal applies to teenagers in general. With some focus on organization and clarity, this will be a strong essay.

Make sure to start a new paragraph when shifting your focus/topic. For example, the sentence that begins with "One of Holden's first..." presents an abrupt shift in focus that should start its own paragraph.

Make sure that any quotes you are using are necessary and add either clarity or support. The quote about dropping the record, for example, does neither of these, and explaining the scene in your own words would help to clarify that part of your essay.

Your conclusion is brief. Consider expanding it to reinforce the ideas presented throughout your paper.

Be sure to proofread to address scattered grammatical errors."
