Angela's feedback:

"You've included a lot of different references and examples from the source material in your essay. This strengthens your analysis overall and makes your argument more convincing. However, since you mention so many different characters, it would be good to include some background information on them before launching into what they say or do. For example, you could mention their relationship to one another to make it easier for the reader, who may not be familiar with the book, to track all of the information you're providing and place it in context. Aside from that, remembering to include page numbers for direct quotations and settling on one spelling pattern for words such as colonisers/colonizers is a good idea."
