Bridget's feedback:

"You are off to a good start: you've picked your two characters and identified the similarities, and your essay is organized clearly around those three points, so the next steps are to work within that structure to strengthen the existing discussion. Right now, the discussion relies a lot on summary. It's okay to remind the reader of plot details, but most of your writing should be analysis, with summary supporting the analysis and not the other way around. I also noticed the balance of the discussion is tipped toward The Hunger Games; however, your introduction suggests both texts will get equal attention, so make sure you are going equally in depth with Beowulf. I would also suggest some changes to your transitions. You tend to use them at the end of a paragraph, but I would suggest instead opening the next paragraph by defining the connections. (You will need to adjust them a bit to make them work as topic sentences.)"
