Angela's feedback:

"You provide thoughtful analysis to explain how different characters from the book are courageous. Remember, however, to introduce the author of a book at the same time that you introduce the book itself by title. Your writing could be improved by reworking your transition words and phrases. “Though” in particular has often been used awkwardly at the beginning of a sentence. Run-on sentences such as the one that starts “This was not a” and sentence fragments such as the one that starts “While Atticus has” should be recast for clarity. A space is often missing after a closing quotation mark. Moreover, a comma should be placed before a closing quotation mark while a period should come after a parenthetical citation that appears at the end of a sentence. In MLA style, a parenthetical citation should feature the author’s last name and the page number only. That is, no comma or the abbreviation “pg.” should be used: “(Lee 149)” instead of “(Lee, pg. 149).”"
