Jenn's feedback:

"You did a great job starting your paper with an introduction that includes background information about the book and ends with a clear thesis statement that guides the rest of your essay in a logical manner. While you use a significant amount of quotations to attempt to support your points, it is not always clear how they are related. Oftentimes the placement of the quotes makes the text read in a choppy manner. To further improve the content of your essay, consider defining "American dream" since you use the phrase so much. For the most part, your paper is very nicely formatted, making it easier to read, but consider moving your references to the end of the paper. Last, there are a number of grammar, punctuation, and word choice errors that need to be resolved to polish and further improve the essay."
