The student lists several textual features and authorial choices from the work in the essay, including non-linear storytelling and symbolic imagery, demonstrating a strong understanding of the text. These features are analyzed convincingly, particularly in the context of moral blindness and the dehumanizing language used towards African laborers. The analysis is effectively linked to the topic and thesis statement regarding narrative complexity, showcasing how Marlow's narration influences reader perception. Additionally, the student interprets these features appropriately, revealing the ambiguity in Kurtz's final words and the implications of language in reflecting the imperialist mindset. However, there is a noted lack of direct linkage in one aspect of the interpretation to the thesis statement, although the analysis still reinforces the critique of imperialism. Overall, the evaluation of textual features effectively conveys the chosen topic of imperialism.
