Comments (Mandatory): Justify your marks; give feedbacks about what should be done to make the essay better. The language of the essay is hard to follow due to some key words in the area of the study. The definitions or meanings of those words could be given to the reader. Conclusion paragraph can be a bit longer to give some key points about the document. Overall, the essay is almost perfect, all desired points are highlighted. Due to the abovementioned reason that it is hard to follow the text, I did not find the essay attractive in the desired sense.
