Julie's feedback:

"This is a strong, well-written paper with an effective introduction leading to a clear thesis. Both parts of your thesis are supported clearly in your paper. Your conclusion is also effective. The markdown in "Content" and "Formatting" comes from two technical issues. MLA calls for use of the "literary present," (for example, "The narrator feels disoriented..."). Second, quotations cannot be stand-alone sentences, but should either be connected to the preceding sentence by a colon or introduced by a signal phrase (e.g., The narrator feels as though "..." ). Also, MLA does not call for an extra space between paragraphs. Overall, however, your paper offers a clear, well-supported analysis of this story."
