The student demonstrates a thorough understanding of the literal meaning of *Sufferance*, effectively summarizing the plot and character motivations, which provides a solid foundation for analysis. They convincingly interpret the indirect meaning of the text, analyzing the impact of residential schools and colonial policies on Indigenous communities through symbolism and contrasting perspectives. However, the student lacks a focused and informative thesis statement in the introductory paragraph, which should more clearly outline the literary devices to be analyzed. Despite this, the thesis is explored in the body paragraphs, with insightful interpretations that address larger implications of the text. The analysis is coherent and aligns with the thesis, but the references used need to be more well-chosen and explicitly connected to King's narrative to strengthen the arguments presented.
