Tutor comments:

Your thesis statement is clear — good work.
Your body paragraphs make strong claims but don't always provide evidence from the readings. Next time, aim for at least one direct source reference per paragraph.
Your conclusion mostly restates the introduction. Try ending with a "so what?" that connects your argument to a bigger question.
Watch your citation format — two in-text citations were missing page numbers.
