Bridget's feedback:

"This is an efficient summary of the story, but the reader remains uncertain as to the essay's purpose. Check your prompt or instructions to see what, if any, analytical work is demanded for this project, such as theme, message, or character. I notice you open and close with reference to Holmes as someone people turn to for help and, in the end, as successful in helping people. This may suggest a direction for a deeper exploration of this story.

If your project limits you to a summary, focus on polishing up the writing of this current draft. Missing quotation marks and other punctuation means the reader has to decipher how the different parts of the sentence and paragraph relate to one another, and this means they are distracted away from the actual meaning of your words. Proofread carefully: reading aloud is a great strategy to zoom in on the details."
