Jenn's feedback:

"This essay is off to a good start. You have an introduction that conveys to the reader what you are going to talk about in the rest of the essay. While there is a lot of good evidence presented in your paper, a lot of the essay is confusing or sounds awkward because of word order. There is a significant amount of inconsistency in formatting which is leading to the essay looking a bit messy also. Throughout the essay, the text reads as if you are listing things off. To make the words flow together better you need to make sure that you add transitions, such as introductory phrases, at the beginning of your sentences. There are also places in which there is repetition. While reading, it seems as if the repetition is not intentional and might have been created by using improper wording. In regards to the use of MLA style conventions, make sure that your heading is double-spaced, that you add a header with your last name and page number, that your title is properly capitalized, that your long quotes and citations are properly formatted, and that you include a Works Cited page."
