Angela's feedback:

"You've covered the basic points of the prompt by choosing two characters from The Crucible and discussing how they use their power in the story. However, your argument would be a lot stronger if you added more analysis of both characters in your body paragraphs. At the moment, it stands out that you have more to say about Judge Danforth than John Proctor since your paragraph on Danforth is noticeably longer. In addition, the only quote that appears in your work is in the body paragraph on Danforth. To balance out your analysis, it would be good to add an illustrative quote in your paragraph on Proctor as well. In terms of adding more content to your body paragraphs, try to think of any examples that you could pull from the story to further support your points about how the two men use their power. You can also revise various statements to make them more descriptive to ensure that the reader understands exactly what you're suggesting or arguing. For example, instead of saying, "the main idea of this is," you could say, "the main idea of this play is," in order to make your point really clear to the reader. A thorough edit is recommended to take care of various writing convention issues, including problems with capitalization. Remember that book/play titles should be italicized."
