Self-Score

Criteria A-7

I think that I show knowledge and understanding of the novel its context. The context that I explained regarding the creation of the book as well as the passage, I believe makes the IOC understandable for people, even those who have not read the novel. The themes and main ideas I chose to highlight are supported by quotes from the passage and the literary features mentioned are backed up by at least one direct quote. I explain my inclusion of every quote and connect it to a literary feature and theme of the novel that leads to an explanation of its effect on the reader.

Criteria B-6
I showed awareness of main literary features that Ishiguro uses throughout the book. I also explained how each quote was an example of a literary feature, as well as its meaning in regards to the theme which then had an effect on the reader. Though I believe I could have offered more meanings to the quotes as well as show the greater effect on the reader.

Criteria C-4
I think that my IOC was very organized. I gave clear background information and context on both the book and the specific passage. I stated my thesis and also gave specific, clear examples and explained how they supported my thesis. I ended my IOC with a conclusion relating back to thesis and also connecting to a bigger picture as well as a possible author's purpose. I think I could have made my thesis more clear.

Criteria D-5
I used clear and appropriate language. I used the diction of the book when referring back to it. and even considered connotations of words that I used in order to display their effect on the reader. Despite a few pauses and slips, my grammar was mostly correct. My terminology and structure were appropriate and effective in communicating my thesis and examples.
