Angela's feedback:

"You have crafted an essay with a clear thesis and solid structure where each of the body paragraphs can easily be linked back to your thesis statement. Overall, you provide a balanced discussion of moral courage in the novel. However, standard practice when analyzing a specific piece of literature is to introduce the work in your first paragraph by sharing its title and author with the reader. It is typically not appropriate in an academic setting to abbreviate the title of a book such as To Kill a Mockingbird to TKAM. Using the same quote more than once in an essay is also generally discouraged, and if you're going to do this, it is best not to repeat the quote in back-to-back paragraphs. To establish a more academic tone with your writing, phrases such as "you know what I mean" should be avoided since the reader may not understand your point unless you explain it thoroughly. Although you handle many aspects of formatting well, your paper's formatting gets thrown off after you insert the block quote in your third body paragraph. The latter part of your essay should be revisited to ensure paragraphs are indented in a consistent manner."
