Bridget's feedback:

"You've done a good job presenting this focused analysis in a clear, efficient way. My main recommendation is about quote integration. You do well making sure the quotations are directly a part of your syntax. However, don't forget that precise signal phrases ensure complete control of the evidence, making for stronger evidence. When you write "it says," the reader isn't being given much and "it" is very vague. Instead, use the signal phrase to tell us something about the text ("it")--for example, for first-person narrators, you can write "the narrator says..." This reinforces the point of view. Writing "the boy thinks" helps remind the reader of your theme (coming of age); "Joyce writes" reinforces that this is a literary analysis and you are examining Joyce's rhetorical choices. Also, make sure to proofread, including for formatting or typo-like issues (missing spaces and similar)."
