Angela's feedback:

"You provide a lot of thoughtful analysis in your essay. Reading your work leaves the impression that you have thoroughly assessed all four poems being considered, and the amount of supporting information you've pulled from the poems further strengthens this impression. However, because you are working with four poems from two different poets, it would be a good idea to state in the introduction which poems belong to each poet. In addition, it can be difficult to track which poems you're referring to at a given moment, especially when you say, "in both poems," at the beginning of a paragraph without naming which two of the four poems you mean."
