Bridget's feedback:

"This essay is focused, with a purposeful structure and argumentation. Applying the lens regarding pain over the story's elements allows for an in-depth discussion of the story that earns its thesis and conclusion. My main comment is to note frequent errors and awkward diction or syntax that pulls the reader's attention away from the argumentation. Clean these up with a thorough proofread; revise, as well, for efficiency and clarity of phrasing. For example, consider fusing the first two sentences into one (use a colon to present the list of the five needs); this will keep the discussion moving, allowing your reader to arrive at the main focus (the text) sooner."
