A-Z essay choice #1

The first sufficiently good essay that I read about Pride and Prejudice is titled "Contradiction of conformity: How Austen shapes our opinions of characters"

• The essay has a clear thesis and establishes quickly what the argument is and stays on task in developing that argument.
• Although the argument may not be incredibly ambitious, it is well thought out and argued sufficiently to earn points for achieving its goal.
• There are relatively few grammar or spelling errors to distract me from the main point and the language isn't too elaborate to distract me either, the essay was very focused.
• A couple of the faults that this essay has with respect to the grading rubrics is that the scope isn't sufficiently narrow enough, the idea that foils are used to aide the reader in understanding society is a fairly typical topic to focus on. The idea that social status and yearly salaries are used to build prejudices about characters is something that's mentioned in the introduction but not built on heavily in the body and deserved more attention, especially in the first body paragraph.
