The student has chosen an appropriate topic for the essay, focusing on Jane Austen's "Emma" through a well-defined research question regarding the heroine's speech patterns and character development, which aligns well with the subject of English A. The student effectively incorporates relevant source material, demonstrating an understanding of the broader issues in the text, particularly Emma's transformation and its implications. However, the language of the essay lacks clarity in some areas, with grammatical issues and unclear communication of ideas, particularly regarding authorial features. Despite these shortcomings, the use of subject-specific terminology is accurate, and the context is well-established, maintaining a strong focus on the primary text while integrating secondary sources to enrich the analysis without overshadowing it.
