Bridget's feedback:

"This is an informative and efficient piece of writing, and you offer a purposeful narrative in profiling his early life. The essay then mostly focuses on what movies Hanks has made, and so I would wonder if you can push the discussion a little deeper. Perhaps when you note he "won the hearts of..." on page 2, take a stab at describing what about his performance, persona, or similar appealed then and continues to appeal. I also recommend replacing "crappy movies" with more formal word choice that can also help categorize the movies by what made them bad (badly produced, bad script, low-budget, etc.), and in turn characterize that time period of his career, showing a bit more control over the narrative you started in the first two paragraphs."
