Angela's feedback:

"It's good that you've chosen a poem that speaks to you on a personal level for your analysis; however, you don't fully address the prompt with your current content. Instead of talking about your appreciation for the theme of God and nature, it would be more appropriate to focus on how the spiritual tone you identified suits the poem's religious theme. In addition, your analysis of the poem's tone would be stronger if you, for example, included a direct quote to showcase a specific metaphor that Hopkins uses to establish the tone. Note that when introducing the poem, you should mention the author's full name. After that, you can refer to the poet by last name only. Your essay's overall format should be reworked so that it better adheres to standard academic writing practices, and a thorough edit is needed to clarify your statements and make them easier for the reader to understand. There are also simple errors to correct including typos such as "which, which.""
