B is for Beatrice
Of the first three essays, I felt that B for Beatrice was the best, according to the rubric. The quotes used in this don't simply state what they have already stated but add a certain level of reinforcement without simply reiterating. The Author also addressed the thesis. I was not in love either the introduction or the conclusion but while this essay was perhaps not the most ambitious, it certainly did it's job. The thesis was clearly written out and clearly drawn out. This essay was also not bogged down in esoteric language or overly complex and the sentence structure was pretty effective. Most importantly, I wasn't bored to tears

Jeff, good point that quotes shouldn't just re-state, but develop ideas!
