I love your introduction. It is far more unique than coming right out and saying, “The plot of the novel is…”. While it is engaging, it furthers your point across as well as providing background information on the novel. Your addition of sensory details and elements perfectly allows readers to immerse themselves within the setting, almost as if they were the main character. The introduction even reminded me of the novel, The Life of Pi, which is very similar to the novel you read. I saw similarity in the psychological memories and flashbacks, and readers at the end actually realizing the animals on the boat symbolize real people that Pi was stranded with. Your introduction definitely starts your essay off with a high note and strong beginning.
Your argument that Christopher Martin’s memory and flashbacks relate to the significance of the novel was a great point. Memories are all psychological and I like how you tied it back to the main point of the novel, which is Martin’s evil identity. Memories definitely make up an individual’s identity and I think pointing out how these memories define who Martin is/was, is a huge point that you emphasized perfectly. The memories link back together to reveal the significance of the novel…that Martin was truly an evil person. You tied each element together to create a uniform and coherent answer to the open prompt.
