Grader Notes:

· The structure is confusing and goes through several literary works without a proper connecting idea or logical chain of thought. Some form of transition needs to be included.

· Weak examples are provided to support your key points. You need to provide exact examples from the literary works you are talking about.

· The analysis is very dependent upon one source – to such an extent that you have a very modest degree of original analysis.

· The only sentence of your conclusion could somewhat be a thesis, but it is more of an introductory statement. You lack a central idea to which all of your key points will somehow be related. First design your thesis then decide on your key points. This will make the structure a lot more logical.

· Reference list does not conform to the APA guide. In the body of your essay you often forget to place a comma after an introductory phrase. An example is: ‘’ On the same note he advises the reader to always be very keen on how to deal with love because love begins when only the other person becomes convinced and she or he feels that she wants to be involved in the relationship.’’
