Bridget's feedback:

"You've done a great job selecting and organizing your textual evidence into a clear, well-organized essay with good structure. A careful proofread should catch occasional errors, and make sure to follow MLA format for paragraph formatting and parenthetical citations.

To push this essay's argumentation into a more sophisticated place and level up, I recommend ensuring your introduction's very last sentence is a clear thesis statement (rather than cutting the discussion off with Walter). I also recommend keeping an eye on redundancy or repetition. The first sentences of the introduction and conclusion are very similar to each other, and each are also internally redundant, defining "recurring" in the second half of the sentence. Streamline your writing to show your ideas efficiently; sentence variety also helps capture and keep the reader's interest."
