The student's essay does not effectively list and analyze textual features or authorial choices from the work, as they fail to focus on particular literary devices when exploring quotations. Their interpretation of the textual features is unconvincing and lacks insight, and the analysis provided is not directly linked to the chosen topic and thesis statement. Additionally, the student does not appropriately and convincingly interpret the textual features in relation to the chosen topic, and their evaluation of how effectively the features convey the topic is also lacking, as it does not consider the audience's reactions to the techniques used in the work. Overall, the essay requires significant improvement in effectively addressing and analyzing the textual features and authorial choices in relation to the chosen topic of racism.
