The student did not effectively list or analyze several textual features or authorial choices from the work. While the analysis is linked to the chosen topic of symbolism in "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich" and the thesis regarding Shukhov’s struggle to retain his identity, the student failed to convincingly interpret some features, such as the uniqueness of Shukhov's identity struggle, which is actually a common challenge among prisoners. However, the student successfully evaluated how textual features convey the chosen topic, highlighting the symbolism of uniforms, Shukhov's spoon, and bread, illustrating the relationship between physical and spiritual identity within the oppressive environment. The interpretations and evaluations maintain a clear focus on the central theme throughout the essay.
