Commentary
The response:
Provides an incomplete interpretation of the critical lens suggesting that all literature is trying
to relay the message of power. The response alludes to the critical lens, but does not use it to
analyze the chosen texts (the peral and Lost in yonkers).
Is incomplete and largely undeveloped. The response hints at ideas, but references to the texts
are vague (the father is struggling to keep power over his family and his treasure).
Lacks an appropriate focus but suggests some organization. The response has an introductory
paragraph, very brief references to two texts in separate paragraphs, and a contradictory
concluding paragraph of one sentence.
Relies on basic vocabulary, with little awareness of purpose. The response exhibits some
attempt to vary sentence length (I agree … some sort of power message or struggle in it), but
with uneven success.
Demonstrates emerging control, exhibiting occasional errors in spelling (the peral and some
one), punctuation [(Thomas De Quincey) this; For example in; message, some deal], and
capitalization (peral and yonkers) that hinder comprehension.
Conclusion: Overall, the response best fits the criteria for Level 2, although it is somewhat
stronger in language use and conventions.
