Angela's feedback:

"You provide an engaging discussion of lessons people can learn about the act of creation from reading Frankenstein. However, your statements about how humans aren’t capable of creating life are problematic and should be revised for clarity. For example, many people create life in the form of babies. Your essay’s flow could be improved with some reorganization of your paragraphs. Consider joining the three short body paragraphs on the creature’s comparison to Satan and Adam into one longer paragraph. Semicolons are often used where a colon or a comma would be more appropriate, and consistent use of the serial comma is recommended for clarity in writing. Double quotation marks should also be used consistently instead of a mix of single and double quotes. When a parenthetical citation appears at the end of a statement, the period goes after the citation itself, not before the closing quotation mark. The possessive form of a word is needed in the phrase “author’s attempt.”"
