Bridget's feedback:

"It's clear you've responded to the themes and message of the short story, demonstrating this across the essay with textual evidence and reference to the ideas Chopin explores. There is some slippage between the beginning and ending of the essay: your first line suggests an essay about characterization and literary device, whereas the ending focuses on how the character's thoughts and behavior convey theme. Based on the current draft, this might be a simple fix of revising the language (probably at the beginning) to better guide the reader's attention, but I suggest taking a moment and making a purposeful decision regarding your angle of approach. Consider a reverse outline to get a sense of what you've committed to the page.

Another area for comment is regarding frequent typos, especially at the beginning, which suggests a careful proofread will help address this issue. Cleaning these up will enhance ethos by demonstrating for your reader your control over the mechanics and your attention to the presentation."
