The student does not effectively list several textual features or authorial choices from the work in the essay, as they fail to identify specific literary devices in their analysis. Additionally, the analysis of these features is not convincingly or insightfully presented, particularly regarding Blanche's characterization and the author's choices. However, the student successfully links their analysis to the chosen topic and thesis statement, examining Blanche DuBois's dependence on male approval within the context of postwar America. Furthermore, the student appropriately interprets and evaluates the textual features, demonstrating how they convey the theme of female dependence effectively. Nonetheless, the interpretation lacks clarity in connecting Blanche's diminishing intellectual abilities to the broader theme, which could enhance the overall critique of societal norms.
