Angela's feedback:

"You open your essay on an interesting note with the quote from Patty Jenkins, and you do a good job of explaining the general populace's fascination with heroes and stories about them. All in all, you've crafted a well-thought-out essay where your body paragraphs work in concert to support your thesis. Some minor edits that would improve your essay have to do with consistency in formatting. For example, you correctly italicize the title The Epic of Gilgamesh in your conclusion but not in your introduction. In addition you capitalize the term "everlasting life" in your introduction when it shouldn't be while later in the paper it is appropriately left in lowercase. Finally, you should take care to ensure that your quotation marks and apostrophes are presented in curly rather than straight style. When they're in curly format, they'll match the surrounding font type."
