Return comments on body paragraphs
Overall comments:

• Make sure quotations are introduced with meaningful half-sentences. Point out what we should notice in the quotation. Quotations should NEVER end paragraphs, and they should NEVER begin a sentence.
  
• Avoid 2nd person. Revise out instances of "you" and "your" and change to first-person plural "we" and "us" and "our"
• Avoid writing "the reader." Reframe the sentence to explain what Steinbeck illustrates, conveys, shows, or suggests rather than what "the reader" feels or experiences. Keep it about Steinbeck and his message, not about the reader and his feelings.
• Check your formatting, and ask me if you need help with creating headers, setting margins, spacing, etc. Refer to the McGraw-Hill Reader and my sample paper for assistance.
