Bridget's feedback:

"As a fellow fan, I really appreciate your enthusiasm for this poem! Your energy and investment in the poem, its themes, its devices, and its conversation with the Romantic movement livens up the discussion and allows you to explore the text in detail.

In terms of purpose, I want to check in on diction and approach. Some of the early choices (e.g., first sentences of paragraphs 1 and 2) read more like a book review. The first sentence of page 5 offers a good example of balancing out the analytical project and praise in a sentence with a similar meaning to the opening, so I encourage you to review that part of the conclusion and use it to inform revisions of some of the earlier claims in terms of how they are expressed and how they indicate intention and purpose."
