Angela's feedback:

"It's clear from your thesis that you intend to talk about how the story is being narrated from a third person limited point of view, but your thesis statement doesn't cover how the reader can tell this is the case or what the significance of this point of view is. Thus, it would be a good idea to rework your thesis so that it better represents the analysis you provide in your body paragraphs. Meanwhile, even though you include a lot of quoted material, there's not enough of your own reasoning to help the reader understand your supporting points for each body paragraph. Since the balance is off, it would be a good idea to focus on cutting down the amount of quoted content in order to include more explanations of the quotes. Remember that as long as you're working your quotes into your own statements, you don't need to quote an entire sentence. Your formatting needs some work to make your paragraphs easier to read. All paragraphs should be aligned to the left, and the first line of each paragraph should be indented by half an inch. No extra lines should be included in between paragraphs. Finally, a thorough edit is recommended to improve the flow of your work and clarify your statements."
