Natalie's feedback:

"What a great play to analyze! Overall, your paper is off to a good start. You stayed focused on the question at hand and provided several examples from the play. I would recommend adding to your introduction and conclusion, as these are important parts of the paper that are often overlooked. The first body paragraph also feels underdeveloped compared to the others: can you share some examples of how Beneatha's character challenges those misconceptions? Formatting needs some adjustments as well, so if you're unsure how to format a paper in MLA, be sure to consult an MLA style guide. Your control of spelling and grammar is good overall, but a peer or professional editor can help you polish your paper and eliminate the errors that remain. With these few changes, you will have an excellent paper."
