Bob's feedback:

"You've done a great job of analyzing the theme of this story and showing how the two opposing sides come together and form an understanding of one another.

There is a lot of repetition throughout this essay, especially in the paragraph about Richard. It's obvious from the first sentence that Anthony's primary interest and motivation is money. While it's fine to develop that idea further, it is unnecessary and distracting to repeat that idea throughout the paragraph.

The details about Richard's proposal and Anthony's role in stopping the traffic are scattered throughout the essay, which makes it difficult for your reader to understand the events of the story. Consider giving a brief summary of the ending so your reader has enough context.

Be sure to proofread to identify some scattered errors and awkward sentences."
