Bridget's feedback:

"Your engagement with Chopin's text and the pathos of Mrs. Mallard's story really comes through in this essay, and the reader sees in the use of textual evidence that you've spent time considering how the story works beneath the surface. Before I comment on higher-order concerns, I must note that frequent awkward diction and syntax, missing words, and grammar issues make the specifics of the argumentation very hard to parse out. A priority for this project will need to be proofreading tasks that, by fixing these issues, will improve clarity and let your reader follow your discussion.

Regarding higher-order concerns, and as mentioned above, you demonstrate evident engagement with the text. The plot is essentially surveyed in each paragraph, which takes the focus off analysis and gets the reader lost in the overlapping and repeated details. A useful exercise can be to highlight the specifically analytical sentences in each paragraph and see what unique focus comes forward in each; use this to create a reverse outline that can help inform your next steps in terms of structuring the essay around the argumentation."
