Frequent summary of plot details that retell the story. Restates the content of cited concrete details rather than draws significant inferences about sub-textual meaning.
Good

Some claims may be vague, generalized, or lacking in support.
Excellent
Writing reflects a critical, analytical understanding of the text. Through clear reasoning, insightful inferences are drawn from concrete details to support the connected ideas of the topic sentence and thesis. Claims and points made are well-supported and persuasive.
