Angela's feedback:

"Your reasoning about the different characters and what they symbolize shows your understanding of the story, and you chose good quotes to illustrate your points. While it's understandable that there's a lot of overlap between the characters in terms of their interactions, your essay would make more sense if you organized your body paragraphs by character. That is, you could have one body paragraph on Ralph, another on Piggy, and so on. Within the paragraph on Ralph, you could still discuss the other characters' interactions with him, but Ralph would remain the focal point of your analysis in that section. You've got a solid handle on MLA formatting conventions, but the indent for one of your paragraphs is off. Also, remember to provide a citation for all direct quotes included in the essay. There aren't many writing convention issues in the work, but recasting run-on sentences will strengthen the flow of your writing."
