Writing Critique #9

From the very beginning of Emmeline's letter, her amazing use of vocabulary stood out to me. I really liked how she recognized all the issues that Elizabeth was going to address throughout the letter in the second paragraph, it did a really nice job of setting up the reader and letting them know what to expect. I specifically liked how Emmeline referred directly to Mr. Darcy's letter, making it clear why Elizabeth was saying what she was saying. Although she also made it clear that Elizabeth was understanding of Mr. Darcy's actions, she did not avoid standing up for herself and her sister, only proving that she indeed is the independent and strong woman that we believe her to be. Emmeline does the same when it comes to Elizabeth referring to her family, she does not act ignorant to the situation and how they act, but she stands up for them. Overall, I liked everything about Emmeline's letter :) Good job!
