Some short suggestions, because I know it's past the deadline we're technically supposed to be done. If you have time to look through and perfect a few things, you could have an even tidier project.

Add citations for your commentary on themes. You already have good secondary source quotes/information. Just throw footnotes in for each one.

Double check your not using adverbs/adjectives that make the language any more creative than it needs to be. It's been pretty tough for me to do this consistently, so might be worth an extra read to identify more specific cases.

Your summaries of each chapter are really good. Might want to explain a little bit about the structure of the book (i.e. it's not in chronological order and is really a bunch of vignettes). If you have time, explaining the relationship to the movies in each chapter more in depth would be dope. Nice work including links to the movie Wiki pages below your summaries.

Be a little bit clearer (really careful sentence concordance is usually key for me) in your intro. The ideas are all right; make sure public audience will understand exactly what you're saying. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kmckenn3 (talk • contribs) 06:41, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
