1. Having now read the entire paper, how are the essay’s two modes (Marbles analysis + personal narrative) working together? Do they work together?

2. Does the balance between the two modes (Marbles analysis + personal narrative) feel okay or do you think one or the other needs further content and/or development?

3. Marbles analysis (1): Does the author’s discussion of passages in Marbles persuade you that the author has a solid grasp of the book? Collectively, the author’s selection and discussion of passages should be from various parts of the book. Discussion of particular passages should, for the most part, be put in the context of the overall book.

4. Marbles analysis (2): Does the discussion of Marbles include at least some reference to form/style (e.g., visual strategies, structure/organization, and so on)? How effective/persuasive are these moments?

5. Personal Narrative (1): How effective is this aspect of the essay? Look for areas in need of more clarity, more explanation or development, etc.

6. Personal Narrative (2): Does the world described in these passages come to life? Look for areas in need of livelier, more specific language. Look for areas in need of more description.

7. Does the essay have an effective introduction and conclusion?

8. Are the quotations grammatically integrated?
