Jenn's feedback:

"First off, you've got a nicely formatted essay with a strong conclusion that summarizes the main points you made in the body of the paper. Your introduction is off to a good start, but it could use so more details to provide readers with context. Who is Nancy Meirs? Why is she more important that another person who may have been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis? How did you come to learn about her? Did you read a specific text that you should mention? These are all examples of some of the information you could include. In the body of your essay, there is a lot of repetition and redundancy. Consider providing more analysis or going deeper on some of the ideas you've talked about to make the paper less redundant. Make sure to cite any information in your essay that you gathered from another source and make sure that your citations are in MLA format. Once you have in-text citations, you will then want to create a Works Cited page. Last, there are a significant number of grammar, sentence structure, word choice, and punctuation errors that are making the essay harder to read and understand. Make sure that your essay goes through a round of proofreading to resolve these issues."
