Suicide or attempted suicide is a real problem for students at universities in the United States. Research the prevalence of suicide at universities, providing statistics for those who committed suicide and for those who attempted it. Examine pressures exerted on students that take them to the brink, and use the novel as an example of a case study of a student who loses a grasp on reality. How does Plath’s character (and Plath) demonstrate characteristics of suicidal tendencies similar to students who may be suicidal? What services are available today but were not available in the 1950s? You will need to do research for this prompt

Peer Responses
PEER RESPONSES: You need to respond to at least 3 classmates by Sunday, March 28. Respond in the text box to all of the below questions (or by uploading a PDF with your responses). You will not be completing a rubric for this peer reviews. No late feedback!
PEER REVIEW QUESTIONS
Use the questions below to provide feedback to at least 3 students:
INTRODUCTION SECTION QUESTIONS
How does the introduction begin? (a quote, a story, shocking statistic, other) Does it work well? If not, make suggestions.
How would you describe the style or mood of the introduction? Is it appropriate for an academic essay?
Does the introduction gradually introduce the topic, then the problem, before getting to the thesis? If not, how could it be improved? (One exception is if a shocking statistic/quote is used as a hook)
What problem is the writer going to write about in his/her essay? Is it focused on something that could be deeply covered in a research paper?
Is it clear why this problem significant or important, according to the writer?
How complete is the introduction – does it need to be longer or shorter (should be at least 1 page, but not over 2)?
Is it obvious that the writer has a thorough plan for the essay, or does the introduction sound like a very rough overview with no clear focus?
PROBLEM SECTION QUESTIONS
Is “the problem” clearly stated and described in this section?
Is the problem narrowed enough so that it could be fully discussed in one essay? If it's too big, give suggestions to focus it more.
Does the writer provide support (sources/quotes/evidence) for the information given about the problem?
If so: Is the support adequately used, or does it go off-topic? Is support over-used so that there are more quotes than the writer’s words? Are quotes properly integrated with ""quote sandwiches""?
If there is no support: suggest areas that need more evidence/support from other sources.
How complete is this section of the research paper – does it need to be longer or shorter? (Should be about 3+ pages in the final essay)
Remember: essay 3 must be 8+ pages total, not counting the Works Cited.
Do you feel that the paper gives you a thorough overview of the problem, the people/places/etc. affected, as well as details about the problem? In other words, does it prove that this problem is a problem?
Again, be honest: Is it obvious that the writer has done research on the problem at this stage of the paper? Are you convinced this is a research essay, or is this just a “plan”? Give feedback on how complete this part of the paper is, and what else is still needed.
Give feedback on any editing, style, or MLA errors in the essay, and include specific examples of at least a couple if you find any.

INSTRUCTIONS: Write a well-developed, unified, and coherent critical essay containing at least two full pages. Give your essay a title as you point out the number (1-5) of the essay you choose to respond to.

The thesis must address the topic you later develop in your essay], b. body paragraphs developing the scope of your thesis, and c. conclusion leaving a concluding remark as you sum up the contents of your essay.
Homework
This is the sheet that you
will use to write comments on the rough draft of another student from our
class. There are two important guidelines: first (and this probably goes
without saying): be
respectful with your comments. You will each be writing a set of comments and also will be receiving a
set of comments from another student, so you should write the sort of comments
that you would like to receive from someone else. But, at the same time, you should aim at making constructive
criticisms. If all you do
is say, “This is a great essay, I really enjoyed reading it,” you aren’t
helping the writer find ways to improve it. So please follow the prompts below,
and try to write as much as possible in response to each one. Also, try to be
specific and cite some examples: rather than just saying, for example, “I
really liked the way you used quotes from the text,” try something like: “I
thought the way you used quotes in the first paragraph on page two was really
effective, because it helped the reader understand your argument a lot more
clearly.” Finally,
please DO NOT make any comments about sentence-level issues like spelling, grammar,
punctuation, etc. These are important issues, but you should not be worried
about them yet at this stage; they will come later
