1st Essay- I would rank this essay between an B+ to an A-. The introduction sets up the thesis very well. The thesis reflects the main point of the essay and talks about what the essay is about without any surprises. The full essay isn't too lengthy and makes points without summarizing. All the quotes are set up well with lead-ins and the transitions between paragraphs flow well. The conclusion sums up the essay nicely but is maybe a little too vague in the last couple of sentences.
2nd Essay- I would rank this essay as an A-. I think this essay does a very nice job at comparing the two authors. The introduction is strong and sets up the thesis very well. The thesis is clear and arguable and states the two contrasting authors nicely. Each paragraph contains good quotations but should maybe have another sentence after the topic sentences before going into the lead-in for the quotation. The conclusion has no problems and sums up the essay really well.
3rd Essay- I would rank this essay between a C+ and a B-. I think this essay is too long and too conversational at times. The thesis is pretty much clear and shows complexity for the essay which is good. However, most of the essay is repetitive. The 2nd body paragraph doesn't include a quote which is a problem because this would help the writer illustrate their point and maybe make the essay less repetitive. Furthermore, the third body paragraph has too many quotes. The conclusion is a little choppy and too conversational.
