Comment on Josh's paper

I like your ideas on Raskolnikov's obsession with Napoleon and Napoleonistic views on life. His need to control his and others' lives is a supporting detail in my paper, as well. So far, I think what you are writing is very concise and intuitive. Your thesis as a whole was very creative, as I never even fathomed the thought of what you chose to write about. I have always had a very negative and cynical view on Raskolnikov's character and Crime and Punishmet as a whole, but you chose to look at his personality and actions in a different light. It is clear that we both have different views on the epilogue and the meaning of the story but that is irrelevant. I like the direction that you are taking this paper in and I think you should continue writing it as you are. The only constructive criticism I can administer is to change up your transitions a bit and expand your vocabulary and transitions so it does not sound the same throughout the entirety of the paper. Besides that, I think the writing is good and you are developing your ideas nicely.
