F is for functioning.

F for Foxglove's essay is quite similar to mine on a few levels: the correlations, some of the opinions, and the focus on Darcy's developed persona throughout the novel. Personally, I believe Foxglove's essay is tremendously well supported, clear, and focused. Moreover, the essay manages to stay on track on a consistent basis too. Foxglove also introduces interesting and, somewhat, fresh points within each paragraph. Even better, each paragraph is supported with rich, detailed analysis of well-chosen quotes. I believe Foxglove wrote a pretty solid essay overall. My personal taste though would include a bit of variation in diction and sentence structure. Furthermore, despite it being managed appropriately and very clear, the introduction seems a bit TOO driven. By this, I mean it offers the reader no sense of creativity. However, ultimately, the body paragraphs and conclusion make up for the lackluster introduction.

Funny how the introduction is the weakest part of an essay about introductions.

I award Foxglove a high-five.
