Bridget's feedback:

"With your thoughts about Angelou's poem on the page, the next step is crafting this collection of observations and literary analysis into a coherent essay. Key to this will be an introduction and conclusion, both of which really help the reader find their feet in your discussion. Tell the reader the title of the poem, and let them know what main elements you will be focusing on. What is your thesis? Is it an observation about Angelou's use of literary device? A statement on theme? Your reader uses your thesis to understand the collection of evidence that comes next. In terms of the writing, keep an eye on your sentence boundaries (run-on sentences) and proper capitalization and punctuation to help guide the reader through the syntax."
