Angela's feedback:

"You have a clear thesis statement about the narrator's perspective and the consequences of a third person limited point of view. In addition, your analysis across your body paragraphs works to support your thesis; however, the topic sentence for your third body paragraph should be revised so that it connects more closely to the thesis. For example, this topic sentence could be reworked to state that the narrator's point of view can also lead to positive biases as the story progresses and Mr. Kapasi gets to know Mrs. Das better. In terms of your formatting, you do not need to include ellipses at the beginning or end of a direct quote. Editing should be done to ensure there's proper punctuation (typically a comma or a period) associated with the end of your quotes and to address other writing convention errors. Note that the practice of inserting two spaces in between sentences is outmoded. Standard practice today is to include one space only."
