Bridget's feedback:

"You've crafted a really interesting commentary on the text, with a sensitive eye to subtext and context. The summary portions move efficiently without sacrificing detail, and the writing shows good control of mechanics, flow, and clarity. Overall, each moving part of this writeup is strong at both levels of higher- and lower-order concerns.

My next comment depends on the purpose of this essay: is this it, or is this part of a bigger project? I suspect the latter, reflected in the grade. However, if this is a standalone piece of writing, you will need to impose some introductory and concluding material that helps signpost the ultimate purpose, aim, and approach to executing those goals.

Finally, make sure to include information on the translation you are using; I also notice inconsistent usage of "books" versus "scrolls": reference should reflect your chosen edition and style guide."
