Jenn's feedback:

"Overall, this is a very well-written essay, and with just a little bit of work, you can significantly improve it. You have made sure that your paper is neatly formatted, which is essential because it helps with reading comprehension and makes your writing more cohesive. You also did a good job communicating the purpose of your essay by including a thesis statement in your introduction. Because of the thesis statement, it is also clear that you remained focused on the topic throughout your writing. I do suggest you consider moving the thesis statement to either the beginning or the end of your introduction so it does not get lost in the text. I also recommend that you consider elaborating on it a bit more. Consider mentioning which rhetorical devices you are going to be talking about. In general, the content of your essay is really good. You used lots of examples to support your points. When you wrote about Adichie using humor, I felt that some elaboration would be beneficial. In your writing, it isn't clear how she used humor. Last, overall you did great with grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure, but some errors are scattered throughout the writing."
