Fair
Intro & thesis statement introduces the paper's topic and addresses one of the essay prompts, but information is not accurate and complete; they do not emphasize the main point in a clear manner. The conclusion makes a point about the paper's main argument, but it does not "wrap-up" the essay effectively.
