Essay analysis
The most important aspect for me to improve on for the next essay is length. I know personally that it was much shorter than I would have liked; which means that next time I should spend more time researching my topic or choosing a topic I believe I have a lot to say about. The second thing is more quotations. The more the essay moves along the less quotations are actually used and by then end I haven't used a quote since the second or third paragraph.

Essays L-N
I read essays L-N and the best one to me was N. It had a catchy hook and the author presented very original thoughts in her introduction. The language in the essay was easy to read and it was not to difficult to understand and the language flowed easily. "Natasha" sounded like what she knew what she was talking about and back up her essay with clear, relatable examples.

A-Z sample Essays
I decided to read essays A,B and C and select the best one. Personally my favorite of the three is C, Cecilia, because right off the cuff she hooks the reader with her first line. As a reader it makes you want to read more about how she thinks the author gives first impressions of characters. My only criticism to this particular essay is that the introduction is slightly too revealing. She should have saved some of those points and used them later in the essay.

Characters and their contrasting personalities
Austen uses various characters as foils in order to create two clearly stated point of views on a subject, thus allowing the reader to choose a side and feel apart of the debate.
