Bridget's feedback:

"You've done a good job keeping the commentary focused on the theme of impermanence and the speaker's emotions. Picking specific quotations, literary device, and moments in the poem ensures solid support for your claim. I noticed some errors, including typos ("Allan", not "Allen") and formatting issues -- for example, "Of a surf-tormented shore" doesn't seem to be attached to a sentence or paragraph. Fixing issues like that will ensure a polished final draft. I recommend a concluding paragraph to wrap the ideas up, particularly because your body paragraphs first describe each stanza and then zoom in on the use of imagery in the second stanza. With this kind of organization, a concluding paragraph that ties this all together will help the reader understand why you have chosen the second stanza's example in particular."
