<p>9-10. The essay is readable and easy-to-follow, and the writing and vocab are sophisticated. Even the ideas are pretty good. The essay falls short of convincingly addressing the question, however, and the analysis of the examples is off–Jack’s actions themselves seemed to more suggest the lack of respect for authority instead of an authority which does not deserve respect, and the British did not usurp authority from the colonies; it was much the other way around! (those particular comments stem from a familiarity with both examples, which I am not sure the grader is allowed to use). </p>
<p>It would have been nice if you had gotten your third example in there (everyday life), but it is understandable that you did not. This essay is an echelon above ‘alright,’ but also below ‘outstanding.’</p>
<p>Remember in the future to frame your essay more around the question and conclusively answer it at the end. Your answer seems more a critique of two different governments than an essay on questioning authority. You answer the question eventually, but the single sentence at the end leaves more to be desired in that department.</p>
<p>Keep at it :-)</p>
