Jenn's feedback:

"You have done a great job writing a detailed and compelling introduction. You end it with a clear thesis statement that logically guides the body of your paper. Your essay flows well with the use of smooth transitions between paragraphs and ends with a conclusion that summarizes the main points found in the essay and reiterates your thesis statement. All of these characteristics make for a strong essay. There is a consistent issue with the grammar throughout the essay. Rather than saying "Golding has led us...", consider using active voice to say "Golding led us..." instead to strengthen your diction. There are also a number of punctuation and sentence structure errors scattered throughout the essay that can be resolved through a round of proofreading. Note that the Works Cited page should be formatted with a hanging indent. Last, the information in the conclusion is presented in a way that is a bit repetitive. Consider either rewording or eliminating wording that seems redundant."
