Critique #3, I for Imelda

I chose this essay to be the essay i write about because i was automatically enthralled by the topic at hand.  While i have seen better essays, i still thought this essay served it purpose.  I was fascinated with the writers original message of how Austen uses Elizabeth as a gateway to express her real emotions on marriage.  Despite the interesting writing position, i soon lost my interest in the essay because of choppy sentence structure, often poor diction, and a lack of analysis.  I realizes the writer had the ability to incorporate good quotes, however a transitional sentence or two were lacking; thus, creating for a choppy or fragmented read. This was a tough topic to write about and I commend the writer for making an effort.  Despite the small lack of interpretation, and often inability to use strong transitions, the topic and content of the essay were strong enough to earn a B+.  This was the best essay i read tonight, just not the best i've ever read
