Hello Zarrin Analysis

Decent Essays
Hello Zarrin! It was a pleasure to review your reader response, which was quite unique and expressive. Overall, I certainly agree with your analysis of the story, in how we as humans can allow ourselves to be mentally limited and restricted.

Without her or her family’s knowledge, a research scientist took a sample from her cervix in hopes to find a cure for diseases.…

    In Laurinda, Alice Pung’s inclusion of symbolism of Amber’s school blazer is used as a form of power used to corrupt.

I’d also give the paragraph a little spice with a variety of sentences.…
