Bob's feedback:

"You've provided a lot of insight into Daisy's character. Your use of quotations from the text is particularly good and you transition into them well. Since you are focusing on the typical meaning of the color white, it would be a good idea to explore why that color is used on a character who exhibits the opposite traits. Does Daisy think of herself as innocent? Do others? Watch out for repetition in your essay. The introduction should be clear and concise and should avoid jarring shifts in focus (in particular, look at the first two sentences). Finally, consider having the essay proofread to address the many errors in grammar and awkward sentences."
