Jenn's feedback:

"You did a great job summarizing the plot of the "Lord of the Flies." You provided numerous details and quotes supporting your position about the struggle for power and the loss of humanity. Your essay is neat and well-organized. If you are following MLA style conventions, make sure that you double space your heading. There are some grammar issues, but they are not so extreme that they affect the readability of the essay. Many of the grammar issues can be solved by reevaluating word order. There are a small number of spelling and punctuation errors also. I feel as if there are too many details about the plot of the story in the introduction. Almost everything you wrote is said elsewhere in the paper. The introduction can be used to introduce the book, the author, and the messages of the story. As written, the essay does not have a strong conclusion. Use the conclusion to summarize the main points of the story and reiterate the point of the essay."
